[X4U] So 10.4.2 out and rsync is still broken?

Sheesh!  Quite bluntly put, rsync is one of the only compelling 
reasons for me to upgrade to 10.4.  The only really good reason is 
the improved font handling in X-Windows.

The weekend before last I lost my 2 month old 300GB drive I bought 
for the 10.4 upgrade, as a result I'm currently back to running 
10.3.9, and am seriously considering staying there for the 
foreseeable future.

Since Apple decided to re-drop classic Appletalk support, I have a 
*very* good reason to stick with 10.3.9.  At least until they decide 
to include decent NFS support.  As far as I know no one has gotten 
NFS working between OpenVMS and Mac OS X, and I know quite a few 
people have tried.

The *ONLY* thing I miss about not running 10.4.x is the better font 
support in X-Windows, I sure don't miss the increased RAM usage.
