Apparently rsync calls mmap to create an anonymous mapping.  mmap
memory areas are allocated top down.  Also top-down allocated are
the OS areas which correspond to the PEB and the TEBs.  The above
memory collision is probably one where the mmap area collides with
a TEB or PEB.  I'm testing on W* as well and I'm running a W2012
server all the time since last Friday, but I didn't observe this
problem yet.  I also can't reproduce it with some arbitrary rsync -a
command.  What rsync command are you using?
