I concur. To help googlers i have changed the subject and include this text: The rsync cygwin hang bug appears to be fixed. Users experiencing rsync hangs when on cygwin should run the cygwin dll version 1.5.6-1 or greater. This will avoid the problem variously as rsync process never dies or rsync does not complete, rsync does not exit, and the ones previously mentioned. If those having web pages related to rsync on cygwin link to a mail archive of this message that will also help raise it's profile in google and other search engines. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
