Yes, that's my understanding as well.  He also said that the receiving
side is initiating the connection (and having the problem), so I'm
assuming that he's not complaining about the daemon side.

One other thing I thought of:  Kelly, check for lingering rsync
processe(s) in the process table.  That's the only way I know that
memory could continue to be allocated at the end of a transfer:  if
one of the processes didn't actually exit.
