3.0.7: assert in change_local_filter_dir failed

I'm seeing the following assert:

rsync --archive --devices --specials --sparse --one-file-system --verbose --whole-file --numeric-ids --delete-before --hard-links --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.exclude.all --include-from=/share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.include.all --include-from=/share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.include.drive_a '--include=*/' '--exclude=*' --prune-empty-dirs /share/alliance-bind-local2/ /media/backup1/alliance-bind-local2/
building file list ... done
rsync: exclude.c:532: change_local_filter_dir: Assertion `dir_depth < 4096/2+1' failed.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(601) [sender=3.0.7]



The include/exclude rules I am using are trying to accomplish the
following:
 * exclude everything listed in rsync.exclude.all
 * include everything listed in either rsync.include.all or include.drive_a
 * exclude everything else

The 3 files contain:

$ cat /share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.exclude.all
/backup/snapshots/**
$ cat /share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.include.all
/rsync.**
$ cat /share/alliance-bind-local2/rsync.include.drive_a
/videos/dvd/**


Note that the paths of any file in the source and dest (both included or
excluded) are nowhere near 2K in length.  the longest path is probably
about 300 characters.


Any thoughts?
