Robert,
Perhaps unrelated, but I had a hang-at-end situation which at least
sounds similar. I tried to use a 3.0.x binary which had been compiled
on a PPC, on an intel-mini; it seemed to hang at the end.
Recompiled on the intel-mini, no problem since then.

Hi All,
My wrapper application for rsync 3.0.2 on osx has been working
smoothly except for reports of it hanging on the last file of the
transfer to a local firewire drive. We seem to have solved the
mystery of the slow transfers but now, every four or five runs, it
hangs at the last file to transfer and refuses to quit. Activity
Monitor shows three rsync processes all at 0%CPU at that point (and
virtual memory allocated of 3.74GB, 2.6GB and 2.6GB!). The last file
incidentally is /usr/standalone/bootx.xcoff
My friend is using the standard options
-aHAXN --fileflags --force-change --stats -v --progress
on an Intel mac copying his system of 100GB, or 1 million files, to
the external drive. As I said, it works well and always copies all
of the files perfectly. When the hang occurs, the output shows
nothing unusual - it just stops at the last file transferred and
does not proceed to shut itself off. We havn't managed to run with
-vvv when this happens but will try to catch it with that now. I
should also mention that rsync is launched via do shell script and
the output sent to a log file in /tmp which the app reads progress
from...
I googled around and found references to an rsync end hang that said
the child process wasn't getting the quit signal from parent
rsync.... (on rsync 2.5.5)
Don't know if that is relevant at all...
Any thoughts, anyone?
thanks so much for this great tool!
