I've generated a new snapshot which seems to fix these problems and I've
sent the patches to the newlib mailing list:

http://cygwin.com/ml/newlib/2005/msg00334.html

The patch for vfprintf.c is the change that made a difference for rsync.
As I type this, I wonder if the changes to ldtoa actually accomplish
anything.  It's possible that I just shuffled thing around there and did
nothing useful.
