When i'm trying to backup my files with /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh root@server:/data /data/backup/snapshots/daily.0/server/ -v receiving incremental file list data/file1 ... data/file11 buffer_append_space: alloc 10518528 not supported data/file12 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (53476061 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.0pre7] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (59 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [generator=3.0.0pre7] sshd caused "buffer_append_space: alloc 10518528 not supported". The amounts of files varies on each rerun and the same problem occurs other directories. I'm running "OpenSSH_4.7p1-hpn12v19, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007" on "Linux pluto 2.6.23-gentoo-r3-twam"

I tried the vanilla version and here everything works well. I'll contact the guys from hpn, the wrote on their page: The previous version of the patch for 4.7 (HPN12 v19) has been removed due to a minor bug which could lead to buffer_append_space errors, so this looks like my problems.
Close resolved bugs after release.
