rsync - Oct 2004 - buffer overflow in receive_file_entry

Hi,
I have two identical servers running Mandrake 10.0 + many bugfixes.
I installed the plain rsync 2.6.3 (and after that the last cvs checkout, 
but with identical results)
and configured rsync as xinetd daemon on one of the two, rsync as client 
on the other.

This is the result:

[root@server rsync-2.4.4]# rsync -avz  server::sitis/mydir/
receiving file list ... overflow: flags=0xb6ee l1=21 l2=1156479086 
lastname=contenuti/index.htm
ERROR: buffer overflow in receive_file_entry
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(126)

The configuration on the server is:

hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 127.0.0.1
use chroot = yes
[sitis]
    path = /home/myparentdir/
    comment = "test"

and xinetd.d/rsync contains:
service rsync
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/rsync
        server_args     = --daemon -c /etc/rsyncd.conf
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

I've been running rsyncd on many other servers in the past without 
problems (apart
it being a real cpu and memory hog), so I can't explain why I'm 
experiencing these
errors now.

Other software installed:

Can anyone help me, please ?

Thanks,

The -c option tells rsync to turn on pre-transfer, full-file checksums,
which is an invalid option to specify to specify to the daemon (since it
creates confusion when one side is read/sending checksums and the other
side is not).  The latest code in CVS dies with an error in this
situation.

Just change -c to --config and it should work fine.
