FWIW, I did eventually get rid of the error without recompiling
libwbxml2 by setting up the XML catalog---and I even think I did it
correctly ;o).  I can explain here what I did, if you think it may be of
use to others.

I've attached my trace file; let me know if you need anything else.

Here's also a bit of extra info that I found while trying to sort out
the problem; I don't know if any of it is in the trace file or not :o)

Using Ethereal, I captured the HTTP traffic between the phone and my
server, and I noticed that every time the phone connects and sends a
request, the server returns "500 No node at all".  Looking through the
libsyncml (and with the help of a printf ;o) I determined it was coming
from the _smlXmlParserExpectNode function in parser/sml_xml.c.

That's as far as I got (well, OK, I also tried converting the WBXML to
"normal" XML using a Perl module, but I couldn't get it to work).

Thanks for offering to help!  I can send the captured network traffic,
too, if that would help.
