Hi.
We sometimes/often get such errors. It occures in main.c/client_run(). I investigated further and found, that the waitpid() in main.c/wait_process() exits with -1, errno = ECHILD, which means "No children". *status can contain garbage in such cases - but not always. It happens under Solaris-2.5.1/SPARC. It (ECHILD) also happens on other Solaris versions - but there *status seems to be always set to/left at 0, so the error slips through. I cannot investigate further, because i'm under pressure. So i ask you. This is a local copy operation: rsync -aC --exclude=README --exclude=Makefile . /u/tmp/bla Is there a child process forked for a local copy at all ? Another problem in main.c/wait_process(). A call to WEXITSTATUS(*status) must only happen, when WIFEXITED(*status) returns true. Else, WIFSIGNALED(*status) could be true, in which case the process was terminated by a signal. One has to extract the signal number using WTERMSIG(*stat)... and so on. There is also WIFSTOPPED() and WIFCONTINUED().
