>Description:
	rsync daemon (started with rsync --daemon or from inetd) doesn't work
	on 1.5, client gets "link_stat  : No such file or directory" or
	"push_dir rsyncd: No such file or directory (3)". For the first case
	I tracked this down to and empty string being passed to argv[0]
	in send_file_list(). The second is also from do_server_sender(),
	looks like in the --daemon case we should use argv++.
	But I suspect the root cause is the same. The really, really strange
	thing is that the exact same pkgsrc works fine on a 1.4.2 system,
	as does the 1.4.2 binary on a 1.5 system.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Have a 1.4.2 rsync public server, try to upgrade to 1.5_ALPHA.
>Fix:
	workaround: use 1.4.2 package in COMPAT_14.
	Although it works on 1.4 and not 1.5 I suspect a bug in rsync,
	probably reading out of an array bound. I don't have the time
	to track this more yet.
