I upgraded to rsync 2.5.2 and started to get the error
Warning: unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
when sending just about any file from a Solaris 2.5.1 system to Linux
systems, and then the file that is sent ends up being the wrong size.
Through gdb and trial & error I discovered that if I back out the security
fix in rsync.h at
http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rsync/rsync.h.diff?r1=1.116&r2=1.117&f=h
and recompile match.c on only the sender side then the problem goes away.
Further trial & error resulted in the patch below to fix the problem.
Martin, I think this is probably serious enough to warrant an immediate new
release.
