This patch seems to be a bit of a silver bullet for many 2.4.x problems.
Perhaps a 2.4.7 (or whatever the numbering convention is) version should be
released with just this patch included. Potentially it would get rid of 60%
of the current problems on this list.
Cheers
Mark

If you apply my no-hang patch (that I sent out to the list several weeks
ago, but has yet to be integrated into CVS), rsync should stop hanging.
