You're right, I should have been more clear about this. I think there
exist about three different threads about this problem, which all ended
up in some rsync developer asking for the problematic files and the
rsync user admitting that he had already deleted those. Since the cause
of the problem is (AFAIK) still unknown, I assumed it wasn't fixed in
the last few months. If you have reason to believe it actually _is_
fixed, I'll of course upgrade my rsync installation. But do you have
reasons to believe this?
