[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff crash

[Joakim Arfvidsson]

In general this happens way too often – my backup meta-data gets  
corrupt and I end up just deleting it to make backups working again.

This is rdiff-1.1.5, installed through fink.

This is what regression says:


Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
