--bwlimit not working right

[Rene Schumann]

Hello!

I cant get the bwlimit option working right.
If i set this option over 400 kbyte per sec i still only get 400kbyte
per sec, whether wich value i set.
I try this option with a 100MB big file.
I use a debian stable System with rsync version 2.5.6cvs  protocol
version 26.
Can someone tell me how i can this get working?

thx
Rene
