Hi, I'm new to rsync and currently installing rsync-3.0.3 to a OS/390 Unix System Services environment. The build process runs fine and does not produce errors. But if I test the program, it crashes everytime with a protection exception. rsync-2.6.9 was running fine! I can't figure out why exactly it crashes. I hope that someone on this list can give me a hint on that. This is the debug output (appeared when I tried to copy a local directory to another location): FDBX0302: calling f_name(f = 0x1EA94000, fbuf = ".s.-.~~q.s.-.~~..~~.") from function send_file_name FDBX0303: returning <no value> from f_name FDBX0302: calling f_name(f = 0x1EA93FC8, fbuf = "") from function send_file_name FDBX0303: returning <no value> from f_name FDBX0302: calling f_name(f = 0x1EA93F90, fbuf = "open") from function send_file_name FDBX0303: returning <no value> from f_name FDBX0302: calling f_name(f = 0x1EA93F50, fbuf = "zlib") from function send_file_name FDBX0303: returning <no value> from f_name FDBX0302: calling f_name(f = 0x1EAF5FF4, fbuf = "open") from function send_file_name FDBX0303: returning <no value> from f_name delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4).

Any comment or hint would be helpful! Thanks a lot!
