You should know that most FreeBSD ports, including rsync, have a designated maintainer. You can find this in the MAINTAINER definition in the ports Makefile: MAINTAINER= obraun@informatik.unibw-muenchen.de From the commit logs I discover that this is Oliver Braun , and that he's only recently taken over the maintainership of this port. He's not a FreeBSD committer. I'm copying him to make sure he's in the loop. > You'd have to suspect it was a compiler bug that the behaviour > differs, but perhaps not.

It seems that we do use the rsync zlib, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. I think that's wrong, though. If there are bugs in zlib, we should fix them. We shouldn't use variants of libraries to work around the bugs. > I don't have easy access to a FreeBSD box, Hmm.
