I tried it 6 times in a row, every time erasing the destination files.
Works fine for me.

Perhaps you have hit upon the problem. I am just downloading and running setup-1.7.exe and it definetly has this problem. I tried to download and

Setup-1.7.exe can't have this problem.  What you mean is the Cygwin DLL.

build it from CVS as you did but I have never done that before and for
some reason it isn't working. I'm not even sure if I am downloading code

What are you trying to download and build from CVS?  Setup or Cygwin?

for v1.5 or v1.7 but when I follow the instructions under the FAX, it

No idea what you mean.  When you use Setup-1.7 you'll download the 1.7
packages.  When you download CVS HEAD, you'll download the 1.7 sources.

won't build.  So when will the latest changes be incorporated in the
version downloaded in the setup-1.7.exe because it defintely has this
problem.  I have no doubt about it.

That's fine, but unless I can reproduce it, I can't fix it.  You could
try to debug it yourself. There's GDB, strace, and sources for everything.

problem.  I have no doubt about it.  Or, is there somewhere else I can
find a pre-built version of the latest CVS cygwin1.dll?

In your earlier reply, you said that you used the latest cygwin from CVS and that is not what I am using. I am using the cygwin that installs after running setup-1.7.exe on the web site. I don't know if they are the same. I do know that the one I am using has this problem as I have reproduced it far too many times.

By the way, when I try to build it from CVS, I get the following:

I just discovered some additional information that may help get to the bottom of this. Not sure what made me think of this, but I decided to try an older version of rsync. If I run rsync 3.0.4-1 or 3.0.5-1, I experience the problem. However, when I run 2.6.9-2, the only other version of rsync I can find built specifically for cygwin 1.7, the problem goes away and all works fine?

By the way Corinna, in case I didn't say it before, thank you very much for trying to help out and for the time you spend on this project!
