[Evolution] Hotsyncing with 1.4.4 -- hangs up on 40th to 45th contact "card"

["Peter N. Spotts" <pspotts alum mit edu>]

Folks,

Just installed Evolution 1.4.4 (RedHat 8.0, USB hotsync) and when hotsyncing my addresses, the process stops 
at the 40th to 45th entry and waits there until the hotsync times out on my Palm Pilot. I tried removing the 
46th record, and that allowed me to push to 60 entires. But I've got more than 300 contacts and don't relish 
the idea of halting, clearing a contact, then starting from scratch to get the entire batch on Evolution. 

Then I tried syncing everything but the address book (disabled it), and all sanc (the past tense of sync?), 
if somewhat slowly. But when the process ended, I got error messages saying the AddressBook, Task, and 
Calendar backends had crashed and that I needed to restart Evolution.

So I wonder if I am facing a slew of corrupted databases on the Palm Pilot or what? (Any repair software 
available?) I seem to be able to sync with Jpilot flawlessly.

Any suggestions, other than which cliff to leap from, would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Pete
