[Opensync-users] msynctool enters infinite loop after syncing ...

[Turlough D. <tur...@dc...>]

Hi All,
 	OK, last time I emailed this list I was asking about how to 
configure palm-sync.  I've done that now (although can't guarantee that 
I've got everything right).  I'm syncing between a Palm Z22 and 
evolution2.  I'm using the rpms for fedora core 4.
 	I hit the hotsync on the Palm and then do

msynctool --sync palm-evolution

and I get the lovely tweedle-dee noise and all sorts of things about 
entries in the various members of my palm-evolution things start coming up 
on my screen.  Then the following occurs:


Member 2 of type evo2-sync committed all changes.
All clients have written
Member 2 of type evo2-sync just disconnected

And then my Palm goes deedle-twee and it thinks it is now finished, but 
then msynctool starts working away like a fiend doing something or other 
(I can tell this from the load on my machine).  I did a trace on it and 
this is what it keeps on spitting out over and over again:

[1143908702.891366]        MAP(SOLV1,SYNC1,DATA1,INFO0,DEL0,CHK1,MUL1)
[1143908702.891408]     <<<<<<<  osengine_mapping_decider: Waste
[1143908702.891450]  <<<<<<<  engine_message_handler
[1143908702.899151]  >>>>>>>  engine_message_handler((nil), 
0xb27e8b48:MAPPING_CHANGED, 0x97a6c40)
[1143908702.899242]     >>>>>>>  osengine_mapping_decider(0x97a6c40, 
0x98aeae8)
[1143908702.899289] 
ENG(RUN1,STOP1,SENT1,READ1,MAP1,CHK1,MUL1,SYNC1,COMMITTED1)
[1143908702.899332]        MAP(SOLV1,SYNC1,DATA1,INFO0,DEL0,CHK1,MUL1)
[1143908702.899374]     <<<<<<<  osengine_mapping_decider: Waste
[1143908702.899413]  <<<<<<<  engine_message_handler
[1143908702.907149]  >>>>>>>  engine_message_handler((nil), 
0xb27e8bf0:MAPPING_CHANGED, 0x97a6c40)
[1143908702.907241]     >>>>>>>  osengine_mapping_decider(0x97a6c40, 
0x98af3b8)
[1143908702.907288] 
ENG(RUN1,STOP1,SENT1,READ1,MAP1,CHK1,MUL1,SYNC1,COMMITTED1)


As you can see, some of the hex addresses change, but not all.  It keeps 
doing this for as long as I let it - I have a 43Mbyte thread file from it 
now.  Has anyone come across this before, or have the faintest idea what 
is going on??  I'm using

This is msynctool version "0.18"
using OpenSync version "0.18"


Cheers,
 	Turlough
