rsync 2.5.5 segmentation fault on Linux x86.

[David Bigagli -Bokis-]

Did you have a look at the core file? Building unstripped rsycn and then
debug the core should give you some ideas. The large number you are
getting may be caused by memory corruption.

I think that you really mean process limits rather then environment
variables. That could be. Some applications do not like having some of
their limit being unlimited especially stack and datasize. The cron job
has its limits most likely different from your interactive shell. So one
thing to try is to set the limits in the cron job the same as your shell
environment.

I would first type 'limit' under csh or tcsh. Then in a simple uu.sh
script set the same limits, all of them, just before the rsync command
itself and submit the script to cron.

 Cheers,
