rsync via ssh dumps core after being interrupted

[Bernhard Erdmann]

Hi,

I'm using rsync (version 2.5.5  protocol version 26) on RedHat Linux 8.0:

rsync -ae ssh /tmp/junk/ otherhost:/tmp/junk

If I interrupt rsync (^C), sometimes rsync on the other host dumps core 
or uses all (!) available memory and all CPU.

gdb on a core file:

$ gdb -q /usr/bin/rsync /tmp/core.4576
(no debugging symbols found)...
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -logDtprz 
--delete . /var/log/tomcat18039'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

This happens on different host/host combinations. All hosts are on RHL 
8.0 with latest patches.
