I'm hoping the new rsync 2.5.6 binary I provided to the client resolves the problem - but if not, I'm certainly armed with EXCELLENT information on how to proceed. Thanks for taking the time to write this up! You rule...

Otherwise, you don't see function names, only raw addresses. gdb rsync.exe Also, try gdb first. On all but WinXP (and possibly 2k, I don't know), detaching from a process kills it.
