unexpected EOF in read_timeout

[Eric Whiting]

Michelle/Tim,

I ocassionally get this message under 2.4.7pre1 -- I just call it a
network error and ignore it, but perhaps there is still a rsync protocol
problem. TCP is pretty good about retry/resend under bad network
conditions. Network hiccups shouldn't really be hitting us this often or
severe, right?

Is the receiving side giving up or hanging up too soon?

One good thing about this error -- at least it isn't hanging forever
like 2.4.6 would often do.

my errors look like this:
rsync: connection to server unexpectedly closed (69872 bytes read so
far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(255)
