...but 2.4.3 worked fine. this is linux 2.4.18 with glibc 2.2.5 and
libz 1.1.4, if it matters, on both source and dest.
apparently something about trying to send a file ending with .iso gives
rsync a fit if the -z [compress] option is used.

if no -z, things go fine:

this has been verified on two different send/receive host combinations,
using both 2.5.0 and 2.5.5, whether or not *.iso was listed in the "dont
compress" section of rsyncd.conf. renaming both source and dest files
to *.is0 [zero] seems to work fine; i can sync *.is0 files just fine
with -z [and it produces quite a speedup too vs. no compression!].
btw, thanks tridge and folks for such a handy util.
