The bug report in Debian below may be related: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749165 Here the issue is basically that a newline is *missing* after --progress output has been generated. The output basically is: 0 files...^M 400 files...^M 2500 files...^M 4600 files...^Ma1/ a2/ The a1/ part overwrites the " 4600 files..." part partially. perhaps the extraneous newline in my first part is related to this missing newline here?
