rsync - Dec 2001 - 2.5.0, Solaris 2.6, Daemon SIGSEGV

Hello,

I have compiled rsync 2.5.0 cleanly on a Solaris 2.6 box, and can use the
resultant binary as a client with no problem. However, when I try and start a
daemon, it exits with exit code 0, and no daemon running.

I have previously run 2.4.6 and other versions with the same rsyncd.conf file,
but can't seem to get the daemon up with 2.5.0. A truss shows the following:

# truss -f /usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon
<chomp>
6192:   open64("/dev/null", O_RDWR)                     = 2
6192:   open64("/etc/rsyncd.conf", O_RDONLY)            = 3
6192:   fstat64(3, 0xEFFFF630)                          = 0
6192:   brk(0x00059190)                                 = 0
6192:   brk(0x0005B190)                                 = 0
6192:   ioctl(3, TCGETA, 0xEFFFF5BC)                    Err#25 ENOTTY
6192:   read(3, " u s e   c h r o o t   =".., 8192)     = 1036
6192:       Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS  %pc = 0xEF5C6F08
6192:         siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_ACCERR addr=0x0003D940
6192:       Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default]
6192:         siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_ACCERR addr=0x0003D940
6192:           *** process killed ***
6191:       Received signal #18, SIGCLD [caught]
6191:         siginfo: SIGCLD CLD_KILLED pid=6192 status=0x000B
6191:   waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xEFFFF810, WEXITED|WTRAPPED|WNOHANG) = 0
6191:   waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xEFFFF810, WEXITED|WTRAPPED|WNOHANG) Err#10 ECHILD
6191:   setcontext(0xEFFFF9C0)
6191:   _exit(0)




Can anyone tell me what this is? I have looked through the list archives, but
can't see anything, and had a google for it as well; none of these have lead
me to a solution yet.

Many thanks,

	James

This is a known 2.5.0 problem, and a 2.5.1 will come out soon to fix it.
Meanwhile, use the latest "2.5.1pre*" version from the download site
"preview" directory.
