Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2etch1
Severity: important
On etch, with the following commands
mkdir in out
(cd in ; touch a1 a2 a3 test1 ; ln test1 test2)
rsync -aHA in out
One gets the result:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7dc6fcc ***
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (106 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453)
[sender=2.6.9]
I could reproduce that behaviour on two systems. (It took me quite
some time to produce this minimal error situation; it happened
originally at an rsync run that syncs a whole system. :-)
If you don't create a1, a2, and a3, or if the source directory is not
named in, the free error message does not appear; but the rsync error
still occurs. So this may be two problems, actually.
I hope that this information is sufficient to repeat the issue at your
side. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.
Cheers,
Joachim
