Description:

After upgrading librsync from 1.0.0-1 2.0.0-1 on my 32bit server, rdiff-backup (1.2.8-7) segfaults when making a backup. Downgrading librsync back to 1.0.0-1 solved the segfaults. I am not sure if this is a bug in rdiff-backup or in librsync, but decided to report it here since it is rdiff-backup that crashes.

Additional info:

In this topic I have pasted some logs: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207080

I'd be happy to post more logs if needed.

Steps to reproduce:

Reproducing is a bit problematic since it does not occur when testing with some random folders. So far it only happened when backing up a collection of folders to my archive, so I guess the particularities of my system backup archive and/or backed up files also trigger this error.
This task depends upon

Was this part of a whole system update, or did you just update librsync?
