Downloaded 0.9-mod, compiled bbstored under Gnu Debian i386 and
bbackupd under cygwin, added new config options and started backup
run. 

Result: It did send some keep alives and finally successfully had
transfered the file, that previously raised the error.

Thanks!

Ben mentioned to use a native windows version. But as the server would
not change, I guess the error condition would also remain. Is this
right? 

BTW: What are the differences between the normal distribution and the
native windows version, besides the fact, that the normal version can
be easily compiled with cygwin?
