Not really:  I have never run rsync on Windows 8.  I *have* done it on 
Windows Server 2012 (based on Win8) with zero crashes across 3-4 servers 
on that OS and maybe 3 months of time.  So it may not be a Windows 8 
problem exactly, it may be just *your* Windows 8.

Have you checked the Event Viewer?  It usually shows you what's going on 
with rsync...

If we don't know why it dies how can we fix it?

You can't, to my knowledge.  I have wrapped launching rsync in a CMD to 
delete stale files before launching the daemon.  (I hope I'm wrong:  it 
would be nice not to need it!)
