The problem was that Sunos4 doesn't support realloc on a NULL pointer.
I put a patch into CVS, see
    http://www.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rsync/flist.c

Martin promised a new release soon so I won't be updating the binary on the
rsync web site until then but I'll send you a fixed binary by direct email
when I have it built.
