'k, I'm starting to get the impression that FreeBSD 6.x is evil ... at 
least as far as Dual-PIII servers are concerned ... on a machine that, 
like the other Dual-PIII, I've only ever had hard drive issues with, and 
then rarely, I just upgraded to FreeBSD 6.x yesterday, and am trying to 
rsync a bunch of files across, and am getting:

=========
doing nssci.net from uranus
Bad system call (core dumped)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4610 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(472) [sender=2.6.8]
doing ns2.earthtecinc.com from uranus
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1030362 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(443)
=========

I've *never* seen rsync give a problem before, on any of my servers, now 
I'm getting core dumps?

Am back tracking to RELENG_6_1 right now, see if that helps ... :(
