As it turns out, the problem does indeed exist in rdist 6.1.2, and
the patch does not solve the problem. One hunk even got rejected
(from rdistd.c, "rem" is now separated into "rem_w" and "rem_r") but
it looks like the code should now treat the fd's properly...it must be
something else.
I will try to dig into the code a bit tomorrow after I've had some
sleep. I'll send mail if I find anything.
