I've never seen error messages quite like that, but it looks like the
error is coming from the sending side (and a standalone rsync started
by xinetd?).   Note that rsync loads the whole directory structure
into RAM at both ends before they walk the list doing comparisions, so
the amount of RAM needed will relate to the number of files under the
starting point.  If you have a reasonable division under a few top
level directories, you could split them into separate 'shares'.
