Ahhh  The receiving side is a fresh install of Debian, kernel 2.6.8-2 
with a whopping 256MB of Ram.
I have 2Mb 'free', no swap (What the heck did I do there?  Watch my 
confidence start droping drastically :P  ) and 5 rsync processes eating 
about 35Mb each.. 

The receiving system is running rsync 2.6.4 protocol v29.

Ok, so I'll throw another 256Mb in there asap - I still don't know why 
just changing the sending side's version of rsync would cause the 
receiving side to run out of memory..

Thanks
