Re: openrsync crashes when syncing local source and local destination

Sorry the command I posted was not specific.
Adding --rsync-path=/usr/bin/openrsync solved the problem as
I no longer have packaged rsync installed. The problem was the
same when syncing directories with -a

Here is a specific example.

openrsync -v .cwmrc test/
/usr/src/usr.bin/rsync/io.c:224: error: unexpected end of file
/usr/src/usr.bin/rsync/io.c:247: error: io_read_nonblocking
/usr/src/usr.bin/rsync/io.c:638: error: io_read_buf
/usr/src/usr.bin/rsync/client.c:56: error: io_read_int

openrsync -v --rsync-path=/usr/bin/opensrync .cwmrc test/
Transfer starting: 1 files
.cwmrc
Transfer complete: 54 B sent, 92 B read, 1.5 KB file size

Thanks for your help.
