+<p>This mysterious error, or the similar "invalid message 101:7104843", can
+happen if one of the rsync processes is killed for some reason and a message
+beginning with the four characters "Kill" gets inserted into the protocol
+stream as a result.  To solve the problem, you'll need to figure out why rsync
+is being killed.
+See <a href="https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5727";>this bug report</a>.
