I compiled 3.0.6pre1, including  the crtimes and fileflags patches for
use on Intel OS X 10.5.6, as described by Mr. Bombich (thanks!) here:
<http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html>

I want to use 3.0.6 because it seems that this bug:
<https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5365>
has been resolved (yay!).

However, now I'm getting these kinds of messages throughout my output:

-----

and not _just_ related to deleting stuff, bercause I get this too:

-----
Mail Folder/Trash

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

and so on. This doesn't seem to be affecting my backups at all, but I
thought y'all might like to know about it.  I haven't included my
rsync commands, because I don't think that's what the problem is, but
they're pretty much along the lines of -aNHAXvhtb --fileflages with a
--backup-dir and an --exclude-from and --delete and --fake-super. I
may not need the H.

Thanks.
