On Centos 7 rsync-3.1.2-4.el7.x86_64 works as expected

Hi Andrei,
i will work on this. As you stated yourself, the upstream is aware
of this issue. Unfortunately they do not have the official fix yet. I
will try to help things move and then we can decide whether this will
be fixed in rhel 8.

Thanks for reporting this bug, i will keep you updated on the progress.
