As I just replied to another message on the list, this error just means
that the other side went away for some reason. What you need to figure
out is why. The version of rsync in CVS (and in the "nightly" tar
files) tries to grab a dying error from the other side, if possible.
This is coverend on the "known issues" page:
http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html
So, I'd recommend trying the CVS version of rsync to see if that gives
you the actual error of what failed. Alternately (or additionally),
follow the directions on the issues page to get a core dump and/or a
system-call trace from the remote side to get extra information on what
has gone wrong.
