I debugged this problem and it was a spurious bug in how --paranoia was
implemented, and librsync/rdiff both work fine without the --paranoia
feature enabled.
This feature existed to catch and help debug potential rollsum bugs. The
rollsum code is now very mature and the --paranoia feature itself
Thanks for reporting this.
This should not be happening. It's unlikely to cause any corruption (which
would require a strong-sum collision), but it might be indicating a rollsum
bug that could be causing delta calculation to miss some matches, resulting
in a larger delta than it should.
