[Opensync-users] libsyncml failure with N97

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

This is just a short report of one attempt to try libsyncml with Nokia's N97
smartphone (S60 5th edition).
I am moving off the device so I might not be able to follow up on it,
I'd still thought you might want the feedback. 
Please copy me on relevant replies. 

Thanks for writing Free Software!

Details:
From source I've build, on a big endian powerpc GNU/Debian Lenny system: 
build:

libwbxml-0.10.7
libsyncml-0.5.4 

using already existing packages: 
ii  libxslt1-dev                                 1.1.24-2                                     
ii  libopenobex1-dev                             1.3+cvs20070425-2                            
Linux version 2.6.26-1-powerpc (Debian 2.6.26-13lenny2)

I can see the interfaces:

# bin/syncml-ds-tool -u
Found 2 USB OBEX interfaces
Interface 0:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia N97
        Interface description: SYNCML-SYNC
Interface 1:
        Manufacturer: Nokia
        Product: Nokia N97
        Interface description: PC Suite Services

a) Main problem:
All attempts to see the Contacts fail, 
error messages are always similiar to

# bin/syncml-ds-tool -u 0 --version 1.2 --dumpinfo
All datastores will be requested because no datastore is configured.
** Message: Remote device was successfully disconnected.
** Message: SyncML session finished successfully.
Didn't receive the device information though it was requested.
** Message: ERROR: Command failed. The recipient encountered an unexpected 
condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. The request was not 
successful (-110).

bin/syncml-ds-tool -u 0 --identifier "PC Suite" --sync text/x-vcard Contacts
** Message: Remote device was successfully disconnected.
** Message: SyncML session finished successfully.
** Message: ERROR: Command failed. The recipient encountered an unexpected 
condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. The request was not 
successful (-110).

I'v tried several variations with --wbxml and --identifier "PC Suite Data 
Sync" and "Addressbook".

b) Side problem:
Exporting SYNCML_TRACE=/tmp/somedir
lead to a seqmentation fault. (SYNCML_LOG was also set and worked).
Here is a simple backtrace, I did not inquire much further:
