Re: Possible Bug or limitation in Cygwin 1.7 and Rsync and file number limit

Works fine for me under the latest Cygwin 1.7.0-50 using your perl
script and your rsync options.  I tend to agree to Larry's assumption
that some 3PP is interferring.

Sorry to just now be replying but I have been out of the country. I tried the same procedure on yet another computer. I actually got it to run one time without a problem. I then deleted the copied files and repeated the procedure and got the same problem again.

I am totally convienced there is a problem here.

Still, I can't reproduce it. I just ran this with the latest Cygwin from CVS and it works fine for me, multiple times, every time removing the copied files from the former run.

I ran the command the same way you did, I guess, just using different
paths for the source and destination directories:

 rsync --recursive \
       --human-readable \
--delete \
--times \
--ignore-errors \
--stats \
--progress \
-v -v \
~/tmp/rsync ~/tmp/rsync-tgt

Can anyone else try this and confirm the problem?  If it works, I suspect
if you try it again a time or two, you too will see the problem.  Before
trying it again, you need to make sure and delete the files from the
destination directory.

I tried it 6 times in a row, every time erasing the destination files. Works fine for me.

Perhaps you have hit upon the problem. I am just downloading and running setup-1.7.exe and it definetly has this problem. I tried to download and build it from CVS as you did but I have never done that before and for some reason it isn't working. I'm not even sure if I am downloading code for v1.5 or v1.7 but when I follow the instructions under the FAX, it won't build. So when will the latest changes be incorporated in the version downloaded in the setup-1.7.exe because it defintely has this problem. I have no doubt about it. Or, is there somewhere else I can find a pre-built version of the latest CVS cygwin1.dll?
