No, unfortunately this problem is not solved. But the problem is not in 
rsync itself, but in the cygwin1.dll. See 
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00643.html

I have looked at that code, but it is quite difficult stuff. And I'm 
having trouble compiling the cygwin.dll (downloaded the 1.5.24-2 sources 
via setup.exe), so I can't even give it a try at this moment. Although 
it is not the real compilation, but generating the docs :-S

But a lot of people have this problem. It becomes a FAQ.

Regards,
Frank
