error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

[Linux]

I get the same error even after taking the advise from the subsequent
posts to this message and other message stateing "error in rsync
protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)" . 

The one thing that i have noticed is that is only errors when the size
of the directory on the remote machine exceeds 65GB. if it's 66GB the
transfer will fail half way through. The files i'm transfering are BKF
files from veritas backup exec and they range from 2-4GB each. In
addition my --timeout period is set to "4000"


So with that said if i keep the folder under 65GB i have no problems
what so ever. Also both machines taking part in this process are 2.4ghz
and have 512mb or pc-3200.


Thanks
Edward
