rsync 2.5.5, HPUX, getting unexplained error at main.c(578)

[Jim_Donovan at Playstation.sony.com]

I've determined what seems to be a work-around for this unexplained error.
I'm not a programmer, so I don't know for sure why it works, but adding a
call to msleep() for 200 ms in the following sections of main.c "fixes"
things.  Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of this program can tell me
why, and perhaps come up with a more elegant fix.
