The current (1.7.x) cygwin ssh/rsync are OK, but there is a long history
of earlier versions randomly hanging when rsync was running under sshd
(i.e. started remotely). It always worked with rsync configured as a
standalone daemon or when executed from the windows side using ssh to a
unix/linux target.
This used to be a problem when using backuppc to back up windows files
with rsync.
