It seems to happen for start/pause/stop only (as far as I can tell). Things like force re-check and set priority seem to work fine.
I never installed any plugins (there are none installed by default, right?)
The following is my .rtorrent.rc
Code:
# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
# uncomment the options you wish to enable.

max_peers = 130
