           Summary: rsync should refuse -B values larger than the maximum
                    block size
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: informatique at numerigraphe.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The maximum value for -B does not seem to be enforced when parsing the
command-line options: it will happily start working with larger values, often
to fail with a protocol error after some blocks are transfered.
The maximum value (2^17 if I'm not mistaken) should be enforced and reported to
the user, all the more as it is mostly undocumented.
