Description of problem: My regular backups started to crash on the remote side. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsync-2.6.9-2.fc6.i386 (crashing remote server side, F6.i386) rsync-2.6.9-2.fc7.x86_64 (local client side, F7.x86_64) How reproducible: Always since 2007-06-05, IIRC since upgrading local F6.x86_64 to F7.x86_64. Steps to Reproduce: 1. host0$ /usr/bin/rsync -aHAXrxS -e ssh --delete --stats / host1:/backup Actual results: local side hang on --timeout: io timeout after 900 seconds -- exiting rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(165) [sender=2.6.9] on remote side `ulimit -c unlimited' wrapper: /usr/local/bin/rsynccore: line 4: 6137 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/rsync "$@" rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1598312 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 139) at io.c(453) [sender=2.6.9] Expected results: Successfully synced directory tree (45GB).

Attached patch file fixes the problem although it SHOULD be reviewed. Unaware how it relates to the upstream rsync versions. So far able to provide more reproducibility testing but the dataset may change.
Created attachment 157219 [details] Untrusted but empirically verified quick fix.
It looks as fixed in upstream 3.0.0cvs for PREV_SX in FINISH_HARD_LINK there.
