Ah, I see you posted more details for the same problem.  That message comes
when one process on the receiver side interrupts the other because it is is
about to die, and doesn't really say anything about what the real problem
might be.  I assume it's dying before 84600 seconds, right?  Have you ever
tried it without -v?  That's been known to cause problems before, although
I'm not sure if they've been fixed.  Be sure to check to see if the log
file on the server side has anything useful.  Have you ever tried pulling
the files from a server rather than pushing to it?  The rsync server mode
was never really intended for significant writing, more for reading, and it
has some quirks when used for writing (not to say that dying completely is
just a "quirk").

Again, it's possible you're running out of memory with that many files.
