By the way when reporting bugs like this it is good to give a more
specific description, like "RedHat 7.1 on x86".

2.4.7 should not have a 2GB limit unless the underlying OS does.  On
Linux this means that you need a moderately recent version of both the
kernel (>2.4?) and C library.  If you have that, despite running on a
mostly-32-bit processor it should work properly.  rsync --version will
tell you whether rsync *thinks* it can handle big files, but it's
possible that they will still fail.

That error often means the ssh connection is failing.

Can you please post the exact command you're running and the rsyncd
configuration file?
