BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes surface when using --compress and
sending a file with a block-size larger than 64K (either manually
specified, or computed due to the file being really large). Prior
- versions of rsync would sometimes fail to to decompress the data
+ versions of rsync would sometimes fail to decompress the data
properly, and thus the transferred file would fail its verification.
- If a daemon can't open the specified log file (i.e. syslog is not
