Looks like an rsync bug?
James did you work on rsync?
Nope, looking at the rpm changelog shows:
* Mon Feb 19 2007 Simo Sorce <ssorce(a)redhat.com> - 2.6.9-2
- fix acl/xattr bug with --delete: (bz#229145)
[...]
* Fri Jun 09 2006 Jay Fenlason <fenlason(a)redhat.com> 2.6.8-3
- Add my xattrs_bug patch to fix a bug where xattrs don't get sent
correctly.
[...]
* Mon May 08 2006 Jay Fenlason <fenlason(a)redhat.com> 2.6.8-2
- New upstream release
- Use the upstream xattr patch instead of mine. This closes
bz#190208 CVE-2006-2083 rsync buffer overflow issue
[...]
* Thu Feb 10 2005 Jay Fenlason <fenlason(a)redhat.com> 2.6.3-2
