Re: rsync over ssh hang issue understood

Just to back this up, we cant get basic rsync to run reliably
using cygwin either. The command being tested is run from a
FreeBSD box with the source being a cygwin box using cygwin
1.5.19-4:
rsync -av cygwin1:/testdir/ /testdir/
The result is it will randomly hang on a file, no output / error
returned just stops.

tcsh 6.14.00-5 OK
While testing is csh involved?
Your description above is very close to a problem with cvs reported and solved
recently by Jay Abel. In short, tcsh at the receiving end is changing \r\n to
\n inside binary files, so the receiving process waits for the expected bytes
but it receives less.
tcsh is the default shell on FreeBSD which is the "recieving"
end in this test yes but I'm a little confused how the shell
could effect the results of rsync? FreeBSD to FreeBSD for FreeBSD
to Windows SFU doesnt have this issue so something specific to
tcsh on cygwin?
An example of this failure is:
[log]
rsync -av --progress cygwin1:/testdir/ /testdir/
receiving file list ...
1705 files to consider
created directory testdir

bf2_w32ded.exe

rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(242) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(242) [generator]
[/log]
Even though the destination has now been terminated the
rsync process on the cygwin source box is still sitting
there. Checking on the cygwin box no shell is actually
running.
Interestingly if I try to get a thread dump using
sysinternals process explorer the rsync process goes
mad using all available cpu.
