I've had the reverse happen to me -- after the upgrade from Cygwin 1.5.25 to 1.7.1 my rscynd backups over pre-established ssh tunnels started hanging randomly after ~24 minutes. I've reinstalled Cygwin, installed on fresh Win 7 machines, turned off all anti-virus and firewalls, and still can't eliminate the problem. It is definitely an rsyncd issue and not a ssh one as the tunnel stays up and active waiting. I'll give rsync over ssh a try again, though.
