            Bug ID: 11506
           Summary: bug 6542 resurfaces: hlink.c:126: match_gnums:
                    Assertion `gnum >= hlink_flist->ndx_start' failed.
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Hardware: x64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
          Assignee: wayned at samba.org
          Reporter: rsync-list-m829 at sizone.org
        QA Contact: rsync-qa at samba.org

3.1.1 on both sides:

 it says fixed by upgrade. I found a way to upgrade. Using:                     

rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31                                       
 on receiving side that issues the rsync command, and                           

rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31                                       
 on the remote sending side.                                                    

Im still getting the same thing:                                                

rsync: hlink.c:126: match_gnums: Assertion `gnum >=
hlink_flist->ndx_start'
failed.       

this is rsync from debian jessie

3.1.1-3
(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ca.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
(/var/lib/dpkg/status)

Hello,

recently we triggered this very same bug. I found a simple method of
reproducing the bug:

$ mkdir newdir; cd newdir
$ mkdir -p base base/sub overlay tgt
$ touch {base,overlay}/foo
$ ln base/foo base/sub/foo
$ rsync -avH overlay/ base/ tgt
sync: hlink.c:129: match_gnums: Assertion `gnum >=
hlink_flist->ndx_start'
failed.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(228)
[sender=3.2.5]

kind regards,
Dick Snippe

Ah, forgot to notice thats we can reproduce this on rsynv version 3.2.5 and
3.4.1; I'm guessing it can be reproduced on many other rsync versions.
