buffer overflow in recv_exclude_list using rsync under windows?

[Murray Elliot]

Hi,

First post to the list, so please feel free to set me straight if I'm not
following some protocol or other :o)

We need to use rsync to send files to a client, being a Windows user, we
decided to try both the cwrsync implementation and also a straight
cygwin/rsync install. I'm experiencing the following errors:

using cygwin implementation:

$ sh clientupload.sh /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/
Sending files...
Sending /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/:
building file list ...
25 files to consider
ERROR: buffer overflow in recv_exclude_list
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(121)

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/io.c(515)

using cwrsync:

C:\cwrsync>rsync --rsh="ssh" --recursive --times --partial --exclude=".*" --
verbose --progress --stats /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/*
server-up:content/client/

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515)

Some other attempts at getting some sensible error messages:

C:\cwrsync>rsync --rsh="ssh" --verbose --progress --stats --dry-run
/cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/*  server-up:content/client/
skipping directory /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/CHR_BAH25.itmsp

skipping directory /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/.
Invalid file index 1095567365 (count=0)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(152)

I've spent many happy hours googling and searching, as well as modifying the
options, but am at a complete loss as to where the problem might lie,
whether it's client side, server side or some linux/windows incompatibility.

We desperately need to find a solution, so any advice would be gratefully
received.

Thanks in advance

Murray
