[rdiff-backup-users] (no subject)

[Robert Knighten]

The situation here is backing up from a couple of Linux system (one running
Linux version 2.6.0-test9 (address@hidden) (gcc version 3.2.3) #5 SMP Mon Nov 10
19:25:25 PST 2003, the other Linux version 2.4.18 (address@hidden) (gcc version
2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #10 Fri May 31 01:36:52 PDT 2002) to another (Linux
version 2.4.18 (address@hidden) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)) #10 Fri
May 31 01:36:52 PDT 2002).  Both are running rdiff-backup 0.12.5 and Python
2.3.2.

This was working with no problem for some time when I suddenly started getting
the following error:

rdiff-backup works on each of the machines locally.  The problem is just going
across the network.  Any suggestion as to the likely cause?

Thank you,
Bob
