[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup 1.1.6 crash

[Kevin Horton]

I updated from rdiff-backup 1.1.5 to 1.1.6, and then tried to update  
a backup from one Mac to another.  I'm running OS X 10.4.8 on PPC on  
both machines.

The backup command was:

sudo rdiff-backup -v5 --carbonfile --print-statistics --exclude- 
globbing-filelist /rdiff-backup_exclude_list /Volumes/xxx /Volumes/ 
yyy/bu/iBook

where xxx and yyy have replaced the actual volume names

The backup went OK for awhile, but it eventually failed with:

Processing changed file Library/Widgets/AlbumArt.wdgt/
