BackupPC 2.1.0beta2 patch level 1 released

I just released a patch file for BackupPC-2.1.0beta2.  The file is called
BackupPC-2.1.0beta2pl1.diff and is available in the BackupPC-2.1.0beta2
package on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.

This patch should be applied to a cleanly unpacked BackupPC-2.1.0beta2.tar.gz
prior to installation.  It bumps the version number to 2.1.0beta2pl1,
so you can know which patch level you have applied.  I expect to use
a similar patch mechanism in the future.  More detailed instructions
are in the patch file.

The patch fixes the following things:

 - Fixes bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest.
   This fixes a problem that caused md4 checksum failures in all the prior
   beta versions.

 - BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980,
   since zip file formats don't support earlier dates.

 - CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored
   when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run.
   Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive,
   corrupting it.

Also, I recently released a new version 0.52 of File::RsyncP.  This fixes
some intermittent hang problems caused by a deadlock in File::RsyncP.
If you are having problems with rsync transfers hanging using BackupPC
I recommend you upgrade.
