rsyncing a tree of perhaps 30M files, getting this:                                       
                                                                                          
rsync: hlink.c:126: match_gnums: Assertion `gnum >= hlink_flist->ndx_start' failed.       
                                                                                          
then a bit more output and the parent catches up to the child:

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1532) [receiver=3.0.9] 
                                                                                          
it's from a remote system. No errors visible (kernel or otherwise) on either end.         
Hints?                                                                                    
                                                                                          
source:                                                                                   
rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31                                                 
                                                                                          
dest, where commands are issued from:                                                     
rsync  version 3.0.9  protocol version 30                                                 
                                                                                          
ill have to try upgrading dest to 3.1.1 but its not in wheezy-backports                   
and dont really want to mess with this production machine too much.
