If possible it would be good to try rsync-2.4.7pre1 or (better) the
CVS version. It's meant to detect and use 64-bit files properly on
all platforms and we would like to confirm or disprove this.
Otherwise try looking in config.h for settings related to large files.
Please tell us what the detected settings were, and perhaps try
overriding them by hand-editing config.h.

I flew NZ to the states last time, and it was pretty pleasant.
Especially the epple juice ;-)
