Description of problem:
Upgrading the machine from which I synchronize files with rsync through ssh
resulted in file updates problems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.6-8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to the latest rsync rsync-2.4.6-8 errata on the distant machine
2. run rsync -a -e ssh $* --delete --delete-after --exclude='nosync' \
        servername:/var/www/* \
        /var/www/

3. get the error message :-(
	

Actual Results:  Many error messages :
Warning: unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr


Expected Results:  A correct synchronization of files.

Additional info:

This does not happen with rsync-2.4.6-5. Downgrading makes things work again.
Also, upgrading the "client" machines makes the sync still work fine.

Ran from a client to a server both running rsync-2.4.6-8 :

After downgrading the server's rpm to rsync-2.4.6-5, it works fine but
re-downloads the files (they were probably corrupted after the first download!) :

I'm having similar problems running the updated rsync over ssh.
In one direction I get:

unexpected EOF in read_timeout

and the transfer fails.

In the other direction I get a segmentation fault and the transfer fails.

FYI: this isn't only affecting SSH-based transfers.
