Sorry,

By 'it', I mean the rsync process on the receiving machine.

The process on the sending machine eventually times out; but the process on
the receiving machine will sit there forever. Once we learned that the
problem could be avoided by keeping the file list small; I decided I would
wait for smarter folk to figure it out.

When you say "it", are you talking about rsync freezing, or the entire
machine?  I'm talking about the latter, but apparently rsync itself
has problems that other people see.
