Rsync reports the status code of the remote command. So in some situations the status code is successful when the command fails. Rsync of a remote file to a local read-only directory fails, but exits with $status = 0. I'd like to get $status = 23. Is it possible?

I investigated this and found it came down to the revision 1.129 in the
rsync CVS at
http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rsync/main.c
Here's a patch to undo it:

+#ifdef 0 /* was WNOHANG */
while (waitpid(-1, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0) ;

}
The trouble is, that change was put in 7 months ago by rsync's author
Andrew Tridgell and I don't know why he did it or what else will break
by taking it back out.

The modification Dave suggested continues to work. Can it be
added to the release code? (Dave cautioned that he didn't know
why the code had been made active.)
