rsync - Aug 2001 - rsync fails

Hi

RSYNC starts building a file list to be copied across to remote host, while
building it stops and then returns to the command line without actually sending
anything or completing the list of files to be transfered, no errors are
generated.

When I select a smaller list of files to copy over it manages to start copying
stuff over, but stops transfering files part way through.

Is there a limit to the number of file that can be copied in one rsync session
??


Version information:

rsync verison 2.4.1    protocol version 24
redhat 6.2

thank you
Paul

Rsync 2.4.1 had severe known hanging problems, especially over ssh.  Upgrade
to 2.4.6.  That one still has some hangs too but it doesn't happen as often,
and a patch is available and will be in the next release.
