 Hum, but the rsync is very slow with a current kernel, so the problem
 may well have been hidden by this slowness.
 I've no idea what could cause this at this time; it doesn't seem to
 be filesystem-related. ps shows both rsync processes waiting in select,
 while netstat shows send and receive queues full on both sides.
 ktrace shows this could be an issue with select(2):
   4102      1 rsync    1311780519.324063908 CALL  
select(4,0x7f7fffff83b0,0x7f7f
 ffff8390,0,0x7f7fffff83d0)
   4102      1 rsync    1311780579.483436279 RET   select 0
   4102      1 rsync    1311780579.483440327 CALL  
select(4,0x7f7fffff83b0,0x7f7f
 ffff8390,0,0x7f7fffff83d0)
   4102      1 rsync    1311780579.483442445 RET   select 1
   4102      1 rsync    1311780579.483443326 CALL  read(3,0x7f7ff7a36de2,0x21a)
   4102      1 rsync    1311780579.483451341 GIO   fd 3 read 538 bytes
 
 Select blocks, and returns after the timeout period, while there is data
 ready to be read. The next select call returns immediatly. Did something
 change in this area recently ?
