Hi everybody, after upgrading a few CentOS machines from 5.0 to 5.2, and during that upgrading rsync from 3.0.0-1.el5.rf to 3.0.3-1.el5.rf (both from rpmforge) rsync stopped working and bails out with a segfault after some undeterministic time (zero to a few seconds) during a sync. Manually going back to 3.0.2-1.el5.rf seems to work. Has anybody experienced similar problems? I'm not sure if I should go the the rpmforge or to the rsync mailing lists with this problem, so I thought I'd ask here if anybody run into similar problems.
I would try running the new version under strace to see where it's dying.
We are running rsync-3.0.3 from the OpenPKG portable package management system under CentOS with no problems.
