I have a draft email almost ready for the list about this. I have a feeling it has to do with the latest version of the Xcode tools in 10.5.7 (DevToolsCore-1148.0) which provides gcc version 4.0.1 build 5490. My wife's MacBook is DevToolsCore-921.0 with build 5465 of the same gcc, and I don't think the error occurs when I use rsync "the other way.". I'm not sure of this, because I've been a bit busy to do more testing, which is why my email is still in "draft". At any rate, the error only _seems_ to have started when I updated Xcode. If you Google for that error, some interesting discussions pop up. -- W. Oates -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
