assuming that you were tracing the remote rdiff-backup then it appears to 
be getting an EOF on stdin... which makes me think there's something going 
on in the transport layer... not sure what though -- but you could do more 
stracing.

you could also try to figure out the tcp session port and then tcpdump 
that session and look at what happens near the end -- see which side sends 
the FIN first... then go strace the sshd on that side.

this might help <http://arctic.org/~dean/circular.tar.gz> ... it's just a 
buffer i tack on the end of strace outputs when i know there'll be a lot 
of output and i only really need a few MiB of it at the very end to 
diagnose the problem.
