Protocol incompatibility with rsync 2.6.4 (cvs) and disk full

Hi,

I got this error after a transaction was interrupted by me 
and a new (slightly updated) transaction was started.

	...
	fedora/1/en/i386/base/pkglist.dag.bz2
	     1246954 100%   67.79kB/s    0:00:17  (27, 1.7% of 201557)
	Invalid file index 1777522462 (count=201557)
	rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(152)

On both ends exactly the same rsync was used. It's a packaged release 
from CVS yesterday:

	http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rsync/

A second run (with again a slightly updated transaction) gives the same 
error on another file:

	...
	fedora/2/en/x86_64/base/pkglist.dag.bz2
	     1503129 100%   57.80kB/s    0:00:25  (64, 10.5% of 201595)
	Invalid file index -1487994937 (count=201595)
	rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(152)

A third run gives:

	fedora/2/en/x86_64/base/pkglist.dag.bz2
	     1503129 100%   12.00kB/s    0:01:59  (64, 10.5% of 201595)
	Invalid file index -131924025 (count=201595)
	rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(152)

And then I noticed my partition was full, made some room, synced again and 
it miraculously worked.

I'm not sure why it gives this weird error when the *sender* has a full 
partition but apparantly it did.

Kind regards,
