In the windows case where I've had problems , rsync -> rsync behaves the
same (hanging when sshd is involved, working with rsync in daemon mode).

If rsync works but File::RsyncP doesn't, I'd suspect a problem in your
perl or OS install where you might have some component not built for
large file support - perhaps the compression libraries. But SIGPIPE
still sounds like the problem is at the other end.
