I've had the reverse happen to me -- after the upgrade from Cygwin
1.5.25 to 1.7.1 my rscynd backups over pre-established ssh tunnels
started hanging randomly after ~24 minutes. I've reinstalled Cygwin,
installed on fresh Win 7 machines, turned off all anti-virus and
firewalls, and still can't eliminate the problem. It is definitely an
rsyncd issue and not a ssh one as the tunnel stays up and active waiting.
I'll give rsync over ssh a try again, though.
