rsync - Oct 2007 - rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(140)

This is an extrememly old post, so it might not be of any use anymore.
I encountered this same error, and the problem ended up being a full
filesystem (my destination filled up before completion).

________________________________

The rsync code that prints that error on line 270 of receiver.c is
printing
strerror(errno), and that error message "Success:12" looks very
strange
to
me.  If the 12 indicates errno, that's an ENOMEM error.  Is your system
out
of virtual address space?  Maybe it is so low on memory that it's
printing
the default error message "Success" rather the real one.  An argument
against
the out-of-virtual-memory theory is that I don't see write_file()
calling
malloc as a side effect anywhere.  Maybe the kernel itself is out of
memory.
