It's not literally printing out dots, is it?  Is it printing varying lists
of successfully copied files?

That is very bizarre because I see no "Write failed" string in the rsync
2.3.2 source code.  The closed thing I see is "write failed on %s : %s".
Also, the message "Exec format error" corresponds to the system error
code ENOEXEC and that's not anything that can be returned from write(2).

Ah, I do see a "Write failed:" message in ssh 1.2.27 source.  It seems
you have a problem with your ssh transport.  Again, the ENOEXEC is
very strange because the message is printed right after a call to write().
