That can happen if the statistics somehow become negative because the
"big_num" function doesn't handle negative numbers.  The following patch
makes it handle them:

We still have to figure out how the statistics become negative.  You
could run rsync under gdb with "watch (stats.total_size < 0)", or if you
have a reproducible case, I would be happy to look into it.
