$ rsync -auv \ ftp.funet.fi::CPAN/modules/by-category/05_Networking_Devices_IPC/Net/* . \ | grep -v MOTD:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1598 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)
This is because the array used to hold the expanded filename glob (argv in rsync_module(), clientserver.c) is only 1000 entries in size, and the above archive directory contains more than 1000 files. argv should probably be allocated with malloc and grown as necessary with realloc. I'm happy to submit a patch if that is acceptable.
Please reply direct as I'm not ton the mailing list,
Thanks,
