                    large amount of files
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

          Priority: P5
         Component: core

LOCAL RSYNC
command: rsync -rvc /tmp/dir1/ /tmp/dir2/

result:

building file list ...

wait4(-1, [{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGSEGV &&
WCOREDUMP(s)}],
WNOHANG, NULL) = 8792
wait4(-1, 0x7fff1fcd221c, WNOHANG, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
...


Works with small amount of files in directory.
Does not work with large amount of files in directory.

If I compile without the checksum-reading.diff, the binary works fine with both
large file sets and small file sets.

Interesting part is that I was not even using the "--sumfiles=MODE"
option at
all when the problems occur, just having the patch applied results in issues.

Tested only with 3.1.pre1

Can you give me a backtrace with symbols?  I can't get it to fail.  You may
be
able to install a package with debug symbols or build rsync from source and run
that version.  If you get a core dump, load the core into a debugger (e.g.
"gdb
/path/rsync /path/core") and attach the backtrace (e.g. "bt").
