Not quite.  The cause must come from someone calling either
read_longint() or write_longint(), which can happen at the end of the
transfer in the report() function (if you're doing a pull rather than a
push).  That is undoubtedly where the error you saw was coming from.

That's a weird contradiction there.  I note that if the code in rsync.h
can't find a 64-bit type, it falls back to using off_t.  However, if
off_t is actually 64-bits (as it was here), the code doesn't notice
that.  I've just checked in some changes into CVS that should take care
of this case.
