Thanks for the quick response.

Yup, it is part of the standard gzip. That was a waste of time...

Version 0.13. I really wanted the filename encryption, so I built 0.16
myself.

BTW, I have also built and patched argtable. If I specify rsyncrypto
with no options, I still get a segfault. As long as I specify an option,
(e.g. --help), I no longer get the fault.

Thanks for your contribution and help. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Gerald
