error report for transfer

I'm seeing broken transfers when attempting large amounts of data.
I have read the issues.html file about the transfer dying issues,
which claims,
" Sometimes fatal error messages from the remote machine can be lost on the
way to the client; you should investigate on the server for something
stopping the transmission. The most common cause is that the destination
disk is full."
which is a roundabout way of saying, "it's not our fault, it's your fault".
However:
There is no problem on the machines themselves. There is plenty of disk
space. The only thing I can think of, is an ssh error somehow.
A specific message I am seeing, when trying to do an rsync of
a 4+ gig filesystem, is
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(925)
This is rsync 2.5.5, running on solaris 8 sparc, over openssh3.5p1,
openssl0.9.6h, between two machines on the same physical subnet.
Thoughts?
it looks like it is complaining about "I got an error".
However, according to sys/errno.h, 11 is "EAGAIN".
So... maybe rsync should "try again"?!!
