A link to the bug or bug-id would help *new* developers to respond to
the problem.

Yes, I am interested in knowing about the bug. (A bugzilla bugid would
be more helpful).

Well, I would say pilot-link 0.11.8 and gnome-pilot 2.0.12 are a pretty
stable combination, that worked for most of the cases.  

Yes, I agree that the development in gnome-pilot is not agressive, and
that's because, it is functional and reached a stage where newer
technologies/framework like Opensync can take over it.  AFAICT, many of
the gnome-pilot bugs in bugzilla are already fixed, but, not marked
closed in bugzilla. I use evolution + gnome-pilot, frequently, to sync
data with my Tungsten T5 and above all, evolution 2.5.3+ can sync
against exchange as well as groupwise calendars/tasks/contacts.

As Nigel pointed out, Yes, there are problems when you try with
pre-releases of pilot-link.  However, the current-CVS-head gnome-pilot
works pretty good with 0.12.x pre-release of pilot-link. gnome-pilot, as
such, is pretty stable than opensync, w.r.t palm syncing.
