[Bug 66355] Re: gpilotd locks up my Palm Z22

[Matt Davey]

There is more info attached to the upstream bug, but the summary so far
is:

some palmos devices appear to have problems if a sync is attempted
immediately after the device connects to the host computer.  gnome-pilot
2.0.14 uses HAL to detect a palmos device, and so tends to attempt a
connection considerably faster than in 2.0.13 and earlier.

It's not clear what is causing this problem, but it seems to be in the
usbserial / visor module case, so configuring libusb is a good
workaround.  Disabling HAL before attempting a sync also appears to
work.

A patch is being worked on, and a testable gnome-pilot tarball can be
downloaded from the upstream bug.
