I got the same behaviour, it is some days ago that i loaded down 
bleadperl sources from my server to my linux-box but it worked, so it 
is not the problem with rsync.

I think so, too.

I don't know abut this issue, thanks for the info, i thought that 
everything is physically at uni-erlangen, i checked all the links after 
changing the website to count the hits on every link and it works (that 
was on NT 5 Sp2 (english) with IE6.
Did you send a bug report to Mike? (You will find his address at the 
cygwin website at the frontpage section 'news' -> franken-archives 
moved)

Thank you for investigating, it seems that there is s.th wrong with 
cygwin... maybe it would help to get the latest snapshot, Corinna had 
checked in a lot of stuff according switching user context wich is/was 
a big problem and isn't solved completely in the latest release.

Ach so...then i will send this to cygwin list, too and we talk german 
in PM.

Well, there's *sort* of something wrong with the Cygwin DLL, but it's
actually more a bug in Windows than a bug in Cygwin.  See the recent
thread (started July 13) with the Subject line, "data in socketpair()
channel lost if writer closes or exits without shutting down".

Rsync is the only one I've encountered.
