The bug is associated with the security fix described in the change log. I didn't manage to apply the backout patch (didn't try very hard) but I fixed the problem by downgrading to 2.5.1. Lapo, does Cygwin rsync-2.5.2-1 suffer from this bug? Based on your message I should think it would. I strongly advise against upgrading until the bug is fixed. --- Mark Hadfield m DOT hadfield AT niwa DOT co DOT nz http://katipo.niwa.co.nz/~hadfield National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
