[rdiff-backup-users] IOError: [Errno 11] Resource deadlock avoided

[Charles Ulrich]

Hi,

I'm using rdiff-backup to backup the contents of a remote SMB share to an area
on the local disk. The OS is FreeBSD 4.10. I've used rdiff-backup sucessfully
in the past on a very similar setup and on several not-so-similar setups and
it's always worked great. Although I'm learning Python, I don't yet know
enough to debug the following error, which occurs every time I run
rdiff-backup. A Google search turned up a similar error who posted here
before, but with Errno 35 (I think). A patch was created and it worked for the
user experiencing the difficulty but I'm running 0.12.7 which has that patch
in it.

The complete contents of the error are below. If I'm missing anything, let me
know. Thanks in advance for your time.
