The error message tells you: it's the client/receiver process.

To give yourself time to check the client's /proc/<pid>/fd , you may
need to modify its source code and put in a "kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP)"
just before it exits with the error.  Alternatively, you could check
the shell's /proc/<pid>/fd for what fds rsync is inheriting and then
strace rsync to find out what additional fds it is opening.
