        Classification: 



I am trying to finalize the use of rsync for updatiung a new nfs server 
before we take the old one offline.  I keep getting the following 
warning during the rsync process:

Warning: unexpected rad size of 0 in map_ptr

Any ideas where this comes from and how to make it go away?  I am using 
rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 8 to pull data from rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 7.
