Well, I can tell you that going from a 2.4.2pre2 sparc64 box via rsync
over ssh to a 2.4.2 or 2.4.1-pre8 i686 gives me the same problems.

However with slight differences. With the 2.4.1-pre8 kernel on the i686
I see "protocol error, different version of rsync?", and with the 2.4.2
kernel I get segv's in the remote rsync (I'm running the rsync -e ssh
from the sparc64).

Both systems are running IDE, ext2 only on both, no special config
options (pretty bare to be honest).

So no, this is not a 2.2.x interaction bug.
