I am running Cygwin 1.5.21 and rsync version 2.6.6.
If I run this command from Linux:
rsync -Lave "ssh -2"

.. the transfers will stall after two files.
Pushing from XP to Linux does work though..
Any ideas?
Yes its a known issue for the exact situation you explain. Pulling
files from a hosting using ssh+rsync under CYGWIN.
My current understanding of the situation is with the non-blocking
implementation of pipes under CYGWIN does not return EAGAIN even the
pipe buffer is full and starts to block.
This causes rsync to become blocked on a write call to send data to ssh,
and ssh becomes blocked also on a write call sending data to rsync.
This causes a deadlock.
Since rsync can work in blocking and non-blocking mode its really SSH
that end that has the problem.
I am actively working on a solution, but at current work rate it maybe a
few weeks to a month before any preliminary patch will be posted here.
