Re: rsync windows -> unix still hanging :(

I'm not really an rsync developer, but I'd be happy to forward anything
you suggest on to that list. One question, though. In his email, Steve
seems to suggest that a patch (much like this one) has already been added
to the rsync CVS tree, but that it did not work for him:

A few web searches later, I realized that a lot of folks have seen this
problem.  I saw one proposed fix...
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html
This fix is in rsync 2.5.5-2, but rsync still hangs for me.  I'm able to
sync a smaller directory but this larger one fails consistently

Please notice that rsync-2.5.5-2 Steve is referring to is not "rsync CVS tree" but actually just a Cygwin-specific patcher released.

As a matter of fact talknig about this on the mailing list rsync@lists.samba.org should be, IMHO, better: there the discussion can also be heard by rsync developers themself, than can maybe have better solutions (its their code, after all...) and/or say "we already solved that, just wait next release" or other comments.

Another thing in my personal To-Do list is to check "make check" and see why it is failing some tests (long dir test seems to me like "too long dirname for win32 standards"... if that's really the case that test should be deactivated for cygwin build) and maybe having a Win98 Cygwin in http://build.samba.org/ to check compilation there (I don't have any Win98 machine, though).
Notice than "cyberone" referenced in that page is my developement machine and I'm compiling using gcc-3.2 (as you can notice clicking on that page and reading the infos)
