rsync - May 2003 - Batch Mode?

I realize batch mode is still experimental, but I was hoping there might be
a workaround for a problem I am getting.  

I have been trying to run some tests and I get the below error when I use
the --read-batch option to.  I can successfully create an initial set of
batch files, then a second set based upon a few modified test files from the
first batch.  When I first run the --read-batch option on the first batch
files against an empty destination directory, it works fine recreating the
expected test files.  But, then I run it on the second set of batch files,
which are supposed to apply changes to my testfile, it errors out:

rsync --read-batch=batch1 --progress --stats -v dest_dir/testfile1
[ Happy results here, testfile1 created in dest_dir ]

rsync --read-batch=batch2 --progress --stats -v dest_dir/testfile1

testfile1
rsync: error writing 64 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/tmp/rsync-2.5.5/io.c(463)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Now to make things worse, I am running under Cygwin, but I get a very
similar error under my RedHat Linux 9 box.

So, any suggestions?  Or should I just accept that it is still in an
experimental stage and wait for further releases?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, can you reproduce this with the current version, 2.5.6?

Secondly, can you supply us with a set of instructions describing exactly what
you did (i.o.w. your test setup) so I can try to reproduce this? That would be
helpful.
