Just to follow up....  I've fixed this annoying problem on my box.  I've
recompiled both evolution and gnome-pilot by hand, against libpisock5. 
I don't know whether evolution uses the pilot-link executables as Ben
was saying above (can anyone speak to that?).  

I did try to recompile just evolution against 0.10.99, but that didn't
fix the problem (it may already have been compiled against libpisock5?),
but after recompiling gnome-pilot against 0.10.99, I'm able to actually
read the things in my calendar again (nice little feature, that).

Anyone else have problems with this combination?
