I got errors like this once while moving a lot of data to a new
system.  Rsync hogs memory and it can't deal with large directories,
although I think it has more to do with the number of files than the
data size.  I worked around this by using a 'for i in ls -1 /home; do
rsync -av /home/$i /newplace; done' or some such to do one subdir at a
time.
