It looks like Tridge negelected to include a fix for when the remote side
is an rsync server daemon; I haven't tested it nor even seen the problem
myself, but a few people reported problems with rsync 2.4.3 when connecting
to a daemon, and inserting "set_blocking(STDOUT_FILENO)" solved their
problem. That's the bad news; the good news is that it can be enabled
without code changes in rsync 2.4.4 by explicitly including --blocking-io.
In the next release I think Tridge should make that the default when the
remote side is a daemon.
