Hi,

When transfering a zero length file using --progress the final
transfer time left on the screen seems like something infinite.

I am using rsync 2.5.6, debian unstable and Linux kernel 2.4.17 on the
receiving side and rsync 2.4.6 on the sending side

  giga:~$ rsync -a --progress is at mafalda:tmp/zero-legth-file /tmp/bis
	     0 100%    0.00kB/s  579:20:04
  giga:~$ 

  giga:~$ rsync --version
