The code returned at main.c line 692 came from the wait_process()
function, which called WEXITSTATUS() on a value returned by waitpid().
One thing I noticed that was wrong is that rsync did not check the value
of WIFEXITED() first.  Also, if waitpid() returned -1, the value would
be bogus.  Attached is a patch that should fix these problems.  See if
it makes the error code turn into a defined value.  I chose to use (for
the moment) some existing RERR_* values for the case where the command
was killed by a signal (125) or core-dumped (124).  In the CVS version,
I'll actually define some new return values for these cases.
