Coincidently, I am just running tests with a netbsd install on SFU 3.5
(Win XP) that has rsync 3.0.4 and succeeded in getting a 2.5 gig
directory tree backed up under backuppc.  This previously failed with
rsync 2.6.9 from both Interix and Debian Interix.

The Debian rsync did better that the Interix on a LAN but failed in
particular on WAN/internet backups. So, until I have thrashed rsync
3.0.4 under XP on many WAN based backups of various sizes I will remain
hopeful but sceptical.

As the problem manifested in Cygwin and SFU/Interix, I began to think
the problem lay with XP (pipe handling, TCP stack?) rather than Cygwin
et al. Maybe not.
