If it helps, based on discussions on the rsync mailing list,
here is a hack that I put into the 2.4.3 source that gets
around the problem. The method of detecting ssh is what I
characterize as a hack...

if (from_child_pipe[1] != STDOUT_FILENO) close(from_child_pipe[1]);
umask(orig_umask);
set_blocking(STDIN_FILENO);
+ if (! strstr(command[0],"ssh")) { /* doesn't include ssh */
+ set_blocking(STDOUT_FILENO);
+ }
execvp(command[0], command);
rprintf(FERROR,"Failed to exec %s : %s\n",
command[0],strerror(errno));
Hope this is of some help.
Cheers,
Kurt
