Oliver,If you're still trying to figure out why rdiff-backup is dying randomly, here's another theory:
Perhaps you are running rdiff-backup with a low priority? (eg, nice +10 rdiff-backup ...) In that case, my theory would be that some other CPU-intensive (or HD-intensive) process is running at that time and starves rdiff-backup while it is trying to compute the rolling checksums for the rsync algorithm. In that case, rdiff-backup wouldn't send enough data over the wire to prevent the connection from being dropped.
