The only thing I know of that's likely to cause rsync to run out of memory
is when there are a huge number of hard links and you are using the "-H"

If you're using -H, rsync has to keep a table of all of the files and inode/device number combinations. It'll actually consume *more* memory if you have a smaller number of hard-linked files.
