Several people have reported this, so this makes it more likely
it is a bug in BackupPC.  I would like to replicate it.

This happens in a part of the BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO code where
a large file has deltas (changes).  Since the file is large it is
uncompressed to disk in the RStmp file, and that file is then read
to process the deltas as the new updated file is generated and
written to disk.

Let me look at the code and I'll get back to you offline with some
debugging suggestions.
