Reinstalling the server sounds like a sub-par idea if you ask me as it'll take
a while and not test much.  You've tried it with rsync and scp.  Either
there's a bug in a shared library between the two or the kernel's the problem.
I'd try rolling the kernel back to a 2.6.8 era kernel and see what gives.
