bogus hardlinks bug?

[g]

dear rsyncists,

rsync is superb!

but did i actually find a bug?

i did:
$  rsync -vRHSPa rsync://rsync.mirror.ac.uk/updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/SRPMS .
into an empty local directory

the result was 140 bogus hardlinks of the same file:
-rw-rw-r--  140 g        g         6147582 2002/12/04 16:55:24 Canna-3.5b2-62.7.3.src.rpm

...

i repeated the command without the "H" and it was hunky dory.

$  rpm -q rsync
rsync-2.5.5-4
$  rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26
