Dear Corinna
Thanks for you kind support.

Its even simpler, I can run it locally on the cygwin install to 
reproduce the error:

$ cd /
$ mkdir copywin
$ cd copywin
$ rsync -av ../c .   # this is my windows install
$ find . -name "*.*.exe"
./winnt/system32/mode.com.exe
...
$ find . -name "*.*.exe" -print0 | xargs -0 file
PE32 executable for MS Windows (native) Intel 80386 32-bit
...
all "renames" are of this type, but so are others that have not been 
"renamed"

like :
./winnt/system32/wupdmgr.exe
which is of the same file type as the wrongly renamed

This problem does not happen, if I use the cp(1) command instead of rsync

Can you reproduce this ( its a windows professional 2000 with all 
service packs applied here ) ?
If not, please let me know if not, I will provide trace and some binaries.

Sorry, I was inaccurate, it does not happen on .exe, only on .com  , 
.sys  and .src
