I used ARJ to pack this because ZIP crashes, but ARJ just drops the EAs. Then, I used EAUTIL to split them 
(see below).

When VMUpdateY.cmd is not excluded, RSYNC crashes. Crash text in RSyncCrash.txt.

When VMUpdateY.cmd is not excluded, ZIP crashes. Crash text in ZIPCrash.txt. Using the -X parameter also works.

RSyncCrash.jpg shows what FM/2 Extended Attribute editor shows. Notice the blank EA, with no data in it. 
This seems to be what triggers the problem.

The file (VMUpdateY.cmd) was created by opening a remote, SAMBA connected, directory. Copy an existing file 
(VMUpdateC.cmd to VMUpdateY.cmd), from/to the remote directory, then use the E editor (EA.EXE) to change C: 
to Y:, and save it. Note that this does not always fail. 

I split the EAs into VMUpdate.cmd.EAs using the command:
eautil VMUpdateY.cmd VMUpdate.cmd.EAs /S
The EAs can be restored using: 
eautil VMUpdateY.cmd VMUpdate.cmd.EAs /J /O
Now, try to use RSync to list the file, or ZIP the directory. Both programs will crash when they try to open
VMUpdateY.cmd.
