That message does not exist in the rsync source code, although there is a
Unix error code E2BIG that on solaris is defined as "Arg list too long".
Is that what you saw? I've only seen it when doing an exec of a program
when the size of the argument list plus the size of the environment are
larger than a system-defined limit.
