Affects: gnome-pilot (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have a Palm Vx connected via a serial dock.  I have added the gnome-
pilot applet to my panel.  After any hotsync (and the gnome-pilot window
closes), my system-monitor panel applet (and the Gnome System Monitor
confirms) indicates 100% CPU usage.  The system monitor reports that
gpilotd is using around 80% of cpu power.  This is an Athlon 64 3200+
running the AMD64 arch of Ubuntu Breezy.

Right clicking the panel applet for the palm sync and choosing Restart
stops the runaway process.
