 Log Message:
 preparing for release of 1.7.2

+Update of /data/cvs/rsync
+In directory samba:/tmp/cvs-serv4998
+
+Modified Files:
+	flist.c 
+Log Message:
+
+fixed a bug in handling the -c option and non-regular files. It hadn't
+turned up before because Linux had a bug in the handling of NULL
+pointers to read()/write() on pipes, so I never noticed the bug in my
+testing.
+
+I've also sent a patch to Linus.

+I introduced this bug in the last version as a side effect of fixing
+the permissions on intermediate directories with -R. drat.
