I could not reproduce the error you describe on 2.5.5 protocol version 26 - mine ran fine from one RHL8 box to another RHL8 box - both with that same version of rsync on them. I tried it several times with a large file in /tmp/junk to make sure the rsync was still running when I hit Ctrl-C. I couldn't get it to leave processes lying around, nor could I get it to dump core.
I found this posting in the rsync archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06132.html Fyi, it looks to me like the 2nd patch (cleanup.c) was incorporated into the 2.5.6 code - the 2.5.6 code looks slightly different, but the idea is there to stop "occasional infinite recursion", which presumably is the cause of the problem. -- Hardy Merrill Red Hat, Inc.
