It was in portage for a time, during the 2.0.48_preX series of portage. 
  It basically cross-checks every file related to that package against 
the manifest.  Coupled with the "strict" keyword, it makes portage 
extremely stingy on md5summing files.  A single mismatch like I'm 
getting and it will refuse to go any further.

This is why I am wondering if 'manifest' may be buggy, or we have some 
kind of minor corruption plaguing rsync somehow.
