This patch seems to stop the crash.  I did an incremental backup, and  
now I get a bunch of UpdateErrors like this:

UpdateError Desktop/RV_Stuff/POH archive/graphs/all-3.gp Updated  
mirror temp file /Volumes/Ext_BU/Users/kwh/rdiffbu/Desktop/RV_Stuff/ 
POH archive/graphs/rdiff-backup.tmp.7305 does not match source

The file listed in the first of these UpdateErrors was the one that  
was causing the crash before I started using the --no-carbonfile  
flag.  I assume the backed up file would have included the carbonfile  
data if that flag had not been used, and this is why rdiff-backup is  
now complaining about the file not matching the source.  Does this  
make sense?
