It would be great to know if this fault exists only at my site, or if
other sites can also demonstrate this fault.

It's pretty easy to test - ensure you have Python and rsync installed
and simply run the script in my original post. If the problem arises,
you'll get a python socket.error exception, error 113 "Software caused
connection abort".

100% reproducible for me, on every Cygwin installation I've tried it on.

This fault might suggest a file descriptor leak between processes.
