Many thanks to Pat and the Slackware Team for the rsync upgrade. My slackware-current build script (created by Eric) works again. I appreciate that a lot.

I encountered an error there as well, was yours related to bwlimit? I was working on the actual issue while passing -b 10000 to the script (with this option the script roared back into life)...
