           Summary: Certain directory name results in a strange file being
                    created
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.8
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: sheridan at sheridan.hu
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Dear All,

The following command results in a file named ".--.Bug6lt" being created in the
parent directory of "/FTPDATA/-- SYSTEM" (namely, it will be :=
"/FTPDATA/.--.Bug6lt")

The file seems to be the original file in every sense except for the name.

Command to reproduce:

/bin/nice ionice -c 2 -n 7 /usr/bin/rsync -va --super --numeric-ids --stats
--progress --no-D --ignore-errors -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa"
/SERVERDATA/FILES/MUNKA/sheridan.tar.bz2.gpg root at rsync.mysite.hu:/FTPDATA/--\
SYSTEM/

Os: Latest Fedora 16, fully updated with the stable updates, (ie. not the
testing repo).

Regards,

Levente Peres
