I have here a script with which I was able to reproduce this issue on Debian 7, Debian 9, Ubuntu 17.04 for rsync 3.1.2 (Ubuntu 17.04 apt repo) and 3.1.3 (built from source).

https://pastebin.com/ctzJJGwt

It essentially creates a folder with 11.5k files of size 600KB and 10 files of size 200MB, however I think those 10 files are not necessary to trigger the fault.

Using this command

rsync -avvvz --delete source_dir target_dir

I've also built rsync 3.0.9 which runs this command fine.

I suppose at this point it's a rsync issue, I will submit this to the rsync bug tracker. For now using rsync 3.0.9 as a workaround is fine for me. I appreciate any feedback if anyone else is able to reproduce this issue using the supplied script.
