Hi,

Using "--delete-after" does not work with
2.6.3pre1 (sender, Fedora Core 2) and
2.5.7 (receiver, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3):

I have also tried to create a small testcase, but then rsync hangs
without doing anything.

Nevertheless "--delete" works.

When changing roles (sender: RHEL3 with rsync-2.5.7, receiver: FC2 with
rsync-2.6.3pre1) there are no problems.

With rsync-2.6.2 (on Fedora Core 2) everything is OK.
