This indicates that the protocol got corrupted somehow because that is
saying that the receiver got a MSG_DELETED message with a 7104843-byte
buffer attached (which rsync is telling you is too big), but you're not
even deleting files.  What version of rsync are you using?

Hi Wayne,
i encountered this one as well with a rsync 2.6.4 and 2.6.6 pair. In my case 
i got it because a run-a-way script produced a very deep folder structure with
a small file in all these folders, like:


"/local/transfer/heleen/tmp.1526964/tmp.1526964/tmp.1526964/tmp.1526964/...(very_deep).../tmp.1526964/tmp.1526964/MR16511"

hope this helps
