I too am experiencing rsync 3.0.7-1 hanging with ssh on 1.7.1-1. I tried building rsync without socketpair as others suggested, but it did not make a difference. (I presume I built it correctly since --version reports "no socketpairs".) It appears to hang only on large files and consistently failing on the same ones. Thousands of smaller files sync just fine. Using --progress shows that it usually hangs at about the same percent (i.e. 3% complete). Once it hangs, it consumes my cpu. It then ignores interrupts (^C), requiring a kill -9. I also installed the sans-socketpair build on the remote to no avail.
I'm running windows server 2008 on the client and 2003 on the remote (both 32 bit). I'm not a C developer and the extent of my abilities is little more than configure/make, but I'm willing to help diagnose this problem since others are having trouble reproducing it. What can I try?
