I think I know what is going on. rsync is using an embedded zlib-1.1.2
library. We got burned a few times with 1.1.2 ourselves, and have 1.1.3
in the tree. The changelog for 1.1.3 says:
Changes in 1.1.3 (9 July 1998)
- fix "an inflate input buffer bug that shows up on rare but persistent
occasions" (Mark)
...
I half suspect this is the reason for the problems. :-( I wonder how many
tweaks were made to the embedded copy?
Cheers,
-Peter
