I think that Corinna (et al.?) thought this was more likely to
be a problem in rsync introduce by its relatively recent
revision from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6.  However, I decided to try
building and running 3.0.5 myself under cygwin 1.7.0-64 and
I get the same error. This is saying to me that the problem
more likely lies in changes to cygwin than rsync, since
3.0.5 is from December 2008 ...

I can get you strace output if you want :-) ...   Eliot
