Someone else seems to have done it though: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00296.html
In the first message there is an analysis that seems to indicate that is "cygwin's fault" but that there can be a patch do rsync itswelf to avoid the problem. The second message contains a precompiled EXE with the patch included. I had yet no time to study relevant cygwinsources to find a real "solution".
