problems with rsync version 2.4.6 protocol version 24 on solaris 2.8

[Paul LaMadeleine]

Greetings,

         I'm using rsync to keep multiple nfs filesystems on two emc nfs 
serves in sync.  Here are the six file systems and their info:

Filesystem           kbytes       used      avail capacity  Mounted 
on             Number of files
burd1p0:/nettmp      258120      37144     220976    15% 
/nfs/burd1p0/nettmp      2102
burd1p0:/user      29443776   16160480   13283296    55% 
/nfs/burd1p0/user       68171
burd2p0:/netutl    14721376    4515128   10206248    31% 
/nfs/burd2p0/netutl     13611
burd3p0:/netconfig 
14721376    1010336   13711040     7%    /nfs/burd3p0/netconfig  33198
burd2p0:/aqptmp      258120      10664     247456     5% 
/nfs/burd2p0/aqptmp       546
burd3p0:/reports   14721376    3868000   10853376    27% 
/nfs/burd3p0/reports   290481

         What I'm seeing is that Rsync will freeze in the middle of the 
sync.  I've attached the script that I use along with the config file for it.

         I know that there is a patch for this version, but I am unable the 
compile in this environment and do not have access to a compiler in the our 
other environments.

         I have done a truss -p pid on the three running processes and here 
are their outputs:

     root 29191 29182  0 14:43:37 pts/2    2:51 /opt/Rsync/bin/rsync.7

#    and determines which exclude file to use from this.
