Re: xinted rsync bluescreen

It's unlikely to be a coincidence, given the previous e-mails!
That seems to be it! [touching wood]

I added a "return 0" at the top of init_cygheap::etc_changed() (so that the whole FindFirstChangeNotification/DuplicateHandle business never happens). So far, no crashes - despite my best efforts running chkconfig rsync on/off, /sbin/telinit 3/1.

Thanks for the hint!
