Ah, I see. Great.

Well I'm using rsync version 2.1.1 on a RH5.1 box. But I also have the
additional complictaion of having to traverse a socks5 firewall. Our glibc2
socks5 client is still in the works. So this could be the problem. Although
the problem I have here with rsync appears to be unique to rsync. Typically
I'll get a core dump. Strace shows that I send:
sw.engelschall.com RSYNC service
and recv:
@RSYNCD: OK\n
After that, I loop on select. I appreciate your interest in this. But I
wouldn't spend any time on this if I were you. I'd feel as though I was
wasting your time.
