Re: 1.7 ssh/rsync consuming all cpu on x64 Vista

[Jonathan <jonathan at kc8onw dot net>]

I tried again using 1.7.0-52 (-54 is not working for me) my current 
uname -a is
CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 SAGER9262 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-07-24 09:59 i686 Cygwin

I simplified things a bit this time by using scp instead of rsync, I 
still see 100% cpu usage by ssh while sending data.  An strace can be 
found at http://serenity.kc8onw.net/strace.log or the compressed version 
http://serenity.kc8onw.net/strace.log.tbz

Not being all that familiar with debugging at this level the only things 
that stand out to me are the (relatively) long times spent when scp 
calls peek_pipe and when ssh calls writev (if that is the correct 
interpretation of the strace).

Any suggestions for further digging or anything about the trace that 
seems odd?
