Hi list,

BPC v4.1.5 (Debian pkg) made a cryptic error:

2018-03-29 03:00:04 incr backup started for directory /
2018-03-29 03:00:06 Got fatal error during xfer (rsync error:
  unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(629) [Receiver=3.0.9.12])
2018-03-29 03:00:11 Backup aborted (rsync error: unexplained error (code
  255) at io.c(629) [Receiver=3.0.9.12])

after test, it appears it was because user backuppc couldn't ssh
the machine because it was complaining about an offending ECDSA key
into ~/.ssh.known_hosts  (I was rotating ssh keys.)

A better error message (or even better: the capture of ssh complains)
would be welcome (well, it changes from the 4 bytes of v4 anyway ;-p)
