For the time being I've setup my Win2k server to push data to my Linux 
server, and I've noticed some more troubling behavior that hopefully 
will help narrow down the cause.

If I use the -vv option and there are more than 10,000 files to compare, 
before it starts transferring it dies with:

Read from remote host {my.linux.server}: Connection reset by peer
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453) 
[sender=2.6.9]

On the remote (Linux) side, rsync is still running and I have to kill it 
manually:

28422 ?  Ss  0:00 sshd: root AT notty
28427 ?  Ss  0:00 rsync --server -vvlogDtpr --partial . /remotedir/

If I have less than 10,000 files, it runs okay with -vv.  I've also 
noticed that this sometimes happens when using the -z option, though not 
always.  It does not appear to crash with -v.  I wonder if it has to do 
with the size of files being transferred...

I'm going to try this against another server shortly and see if the same 
things happen.
