rsync 2.5.5 core dump

I added the following code to log_exit():

void log_exit(int code, const char *file, int line)
{
        static int error_count=0;


        if(error_count++ > 10) {
                abort();
        }


To force it to bail earlier instead of overflowing the stack.

As you can see at frame #50, it is trying to log that the connection went
away unexpectantly. I don't know why that might have happened, but clearly
the handling of this error is incorrect. Note that the client terminates 
with non-zero error status (I don't know which one, but, I could find out),
which causes our cron job to fail, which is why we noticed this in the first
place.
