What could cause rsync to kill ssh?

Nice job on converting each switch to it's equivalent human readable format!
I used Gentoo for two decades or so. Now using Void Linux as I have
little time for compiling.
One item that might be noteworthy for those running Gentoo, or a
compiled from source distribution, is including reporting the
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS compiler options utilized for compiling/linking the
code.
Sometimes optimizations will cause self-compiled programs surface bugs
not commonly seen, when otherwise using the more commonly used
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS compiler options. When software gets flaky like this,
eg. just disappearing or mysteriously quitting, usually is the main
cause.
Strace will usually catch the problem, while gdb/debugger might make
things amazingly stable.
Also, try a different file system, for ruling out the compiled (CIFS)
kernel drivers.
Some thoughts, but since you're already in the edu domain, likely
already thought of all this already!
