Also top-down allocated are the OS areas which correspond to the PEB and the TEBs. The above memory collision is probably one where the mmap area collides with a TEB or PEB. I'm testing on W* as well and I'm running a W2012 server all the time since last Friday, but I didn't observe this problem yet. I also can't reproduce it with some arbitrary rsync -a command. What rsync command are you using?
