it started happening like 3-4 months ago, always when i try to backup 
something. i've been updating rsync to latest CVS almost every day, but 
the error keeps showing up ( i tried like 10 different versions - all 
3.0CVS )

i can't use version 2.x because it tries to put list of every file in 
memory, and i'm trying to backup 5 000 000 files, and 4GB of ram is too 
small for this it seems.

version 3.x handles big number of files very well, but it is getting 
errors like this.

i've used kernel 2.6.17, 2.6.18, 2.6.19, 2.6.20, 2.6.21 and now 2.6.22.1 
and it's all the same. i even upgraded glibc 2 times durning this time, 
and almost every other package, and it is still hapening, so i'm pretty 
sure it's rsync bug.

i hoped that 3-4 months of development will help it, but since it 
doesnt, i'm trying to get some help from you.

system is Linux Debian, it was etch (stable), now it's lenny.

libc6 is 2.6-2 but it was 2.5 and the same thing was happening
