All right, so it's a timeout.  That means either the rsync protocol
deadlocked (which would constitute a bug) or the network lost data.  To
determine which, please run all three rsync processes under strace (see
http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html for some hints) and send the last few
lines of each process's strace.
