geez :)   well well, so I guess I'll have to go back to the previous
stable version ? (it is for backups of production servers, and it
_must_ work if something goes wrong somewhere...)  what do you think?

if I retry now (w/o the print-stats) it crashes:

osafe:~ # rdiff-backup --exclude /home/BACKUP --exclude /backupboot --exclude 
/backuphome --exclude /backuproot
--exclude /proc --exclude /mnt2 address@hidden::/ /backup3/polaris/rdiff/
Previous backup seems to have failed, checking now.

ah, after creating the directory it looks a bit better.  (no crash yet :)

btw, the stats looked fine before:
