I am running rsync version 2.5.5 on Tru64 UNIX on two AlphaServers running
version 4.0F and version 5.1. Rsync fails with the error message:

ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand

A log of the command I am using is:

# rsync --dry-run --recursive --delete foo:/foo1 /bar1/foo1copy
receiving file list ... done
ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(232)
# echo $status
22
#

Any advice will be much appreciated. These machines have 2GB of physical
memory and the kernel parameters have been tuned to allow a process can
access up to 4GB of virtual memory.

George.
