error allocating core memory buffers with certain iconv args

rsync 3.0.0. MacOSX 10.5.1 Server/Intel.

Trying to detect files with funny chars in their name, as I cannot  
find them with "find", I use the error (Illegal byte sequence) given  
by rsync when the target charset cannot reproduce them.
While doing this I have met this error:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -an --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -- 
iconv=UTF8-MAC,437  /db   /tmp/ rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to  
write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at  
io.c(600) [sender=3.0.0]


note that in /tmp/ there is nothing that has to do with the source  
tree (db).

A bit more detail from a vvv run:
