rsync - Feb 2002 - unexpected EOF in read_timeout (was Re[2]: [Fwd: Re: meaning of "IO Error: skipping the delete...."]])

I should have specified what i was replying to.  This section seemed to be 
in reference to what I had experienced before.

I'm not sure whether the SELECT_TIMEOUT issue is relevant to this thread 
or
another one, but it's good to know that you haven't seen the problem
since
2.5.0 where Tridge put in a fix.  It is still waking up from select every
60 seconds, but it doesn't exit now if --timeout is 0.  I'm not sure why
it
bothers wake up, but it goes to select again.
