Sorry, dozen-thousands-and-one now ;) I panicked, went right to work, and now I'm the proud possessor of a copy of 3.1.3. It will be backed up with all my other data. Think of it as insurance: I probably would never have needed it, but this way I sleep better at night. According to https://git.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=shortlog , it looks to me like poettering has never committed to rsync, so that's good news. LOL, I had to take some flack in order to get that URL from the Samba list, but it's worth it.
