I'm having serious problems with the current 2.5.3 release under
Debian "testing" and the 2.4.19-pre2 Linux kernel.
As you can see from the appended build log, I get many compiler
warnings. More seriously, when I install and try to use the
resulting binaries over ssh, things bomb horribly, e,g:
bash-2.05a$ rsync -vaz homer-rr.ka9q.net:wwv_wwvh .
receiving file list ... done
wwv_wwvh
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (69 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
bash-2.05a$
This was with 2.5.3 on both ends. Here's the build log:

Unfortunately the zlib security fix was broken in 2.5.3. I think it's fixed now in 2.5.4pre1. If you can, please try 2.5.4pre1 and see if that will fix it; alternatively don't use -z.
