Hi Thorsten, nice to see you back again :)

Yes, in certain situations rsync seems to hang and never time out, and that
is when apt-proxy gets confused.

I can't find any combination of command line flags to make rsync time out,
and the only other solution is to write code to make apt-proxy time out and
kill the process that hung.  And I'm trying not to spend masses of time
coding for apt-proxy-v1, when my time would be better spent getting -v2
ready (not to mention uploading official OpenOffice packages).
