rsync - May 2026 - rsync 3.4.3 released

Hi Randall,
I don't have access to a HPE NonStop system to test but I think I've
found the two issues you hit. Both only impact the testsuite not the
built rsync binary.
I've opened a PR to fix it here:
  https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/902
I'd appreciate it if you could test it.
Cheers, Tridge

Thanks for the attempt. I am blocked by the use of my_alloc(), which seems to be
used by findme/findPropertyPath but is not referenced in the makefile for make
test.
