map_ptr warning

[Dave Dykstra]

I'm having a hard time believing that you're seeing the map_ptr problem in
2.5.3.  Nobody else has reported that, and it was specifically fixed for
that version.  What's the output of
    rsh nile-ha1 rsync --version
I'm asking you to run it that way because it's possible you have more than
one installed, and if you rlogin you'll have a different PATH than if
you're using rsh.

-c doesn't have anything to do with it, and neither does the operating
system version.

By the way, -c is almost always a bad idea to put into a script because it
has a lot of overhead.  It's mostly useful for special one-time operations
to get two directories in sync that hadn't previously been maintained by
rsync.
