rsync - Feb 2002 - unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr (Solaris 2.5.1)

Hi list,

Since upgrading rsync to version 2.5.2 on a Solaris 2.5.1 box,
I see plenty of
  Warning: unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
when doing my nightly backup (rsyncing some directories
to an rsyncd on the same LAN). I have never seen this message
before, and I only see it on the Solaris machine (I upgraded
all my other machines to 2.5.2 as well).

I hope this is not a FAQ... I did not find it mentioned recently.

Thanks for any enlightenment :)
Thomas.

That's a known problem fixed in the next release coming out, hopefully
soon.  The official patch is
