Just FYI, the following posting just has been sent to the openssh-unix-dev
mailing list:

Subject: SSH hang fix??

It is nice to see that the development of openssh suddenly seems
to have a boost of activity. However I am fairly dissapointed to
see that nobody is actually trying to fix the ssh hanging problem
which I am mainly seeing on Solaris and AIX in conjunction with rsync.

Has anybody from the development team got an ETA of the official
fix for this problem?

So, now we know it's not a Cygwin specific problem.
