I think this version still hangs when doing a large (2GB) local transfer. If anybody else can confirm or deny this that would be great. C-c and restart fixes it. I will look at Wayne's alternative to tridge's patch to see if that fixes it. Also, my attempt to standardize socklen_t seems to have broken UNICOS and HP/UX. Albert gave a good suggestion to fix that which I will try out this afternoon. The Samba build farm is proving very valuable in preventing that type of crash. If you have an unusual machine architecture or operating system, including old versions, then you can help ensure good Samba and rsync support by donating cycles to the build farm: http://build.samba.org:80/about.html Cheers, -- Martin Copyright used to be a restriction on publishers for the sake of authors.
