You should always mention what command you ran, so we can check if the options match previous fixed bugs. You are running 3.0.6, but the latest version is 3.0.9. Lots of bugs have been fixed, including a double-free issue. Sadly, the backtrace isn't really useful w/o debug symbols. If you get another crash, you'll want to use a debug-symbol version of rsync to reproduce the error and/or to interpret the core dump file (if there is one). I'm assuming that this is fixed unless I hear otherwise. Reopen if 3.0.9 has this issue.
