Hi Chuck, thank you for your reply.

I captured stderr when running 'rsync' (by adding
stderr=3Dsubprocess.STDOUT to the subprocess call), but I see nothing
extra on stderr at all. Bear in mind that rsync does actually run - I
originally found this as part of a larger script that copies some
files to a remote host via rsync, and it would copy them fine on
Cygwin or Linux, but on Cygwin a (much) later operation on the telnet
socket would break. I reduced the problem down to the script I posted
earlier.

I tried a rebaseall and that didn't seem to change the situation. I'm
not aware of a python-specific equivalent (anyone?) but I can try that
if it exists.

For now I have worked around the problem in my script by rebuilding
all Telnet connections after running rsync. It's messy but it does
allow the script to run on Cygwin.

I've also reproduced this on several Cygwin 1.7.5 installations
(entirely different machines).

Can anyone else see the fault if they run the script I posted?
