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"
option to preserve them.
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.
It only needs to keep track of that for files that have a link count
greater than 1 in their inodes.
