Hi, I'm having a problem with gpilotd running away with all the memory. Mandrake 8.2, Sony Clie 610C syncing over USB to Ximian Evolution. I've compiled pilot-link 0.11.1 from source and installed over the Mandrake RPM (prefix=/usr) in order to minimize dependency hell. I then recompiled gnome-pilot-0.1.65-4mdk from src.rpm so that it would use pilot-link 0.11.1, which it appears to do from the backtrace. This setup works reasonably well as long as I don't use gpilot-install-file -- if I use that utility, the next regular HotSync will cause a runaway gpilotd to consume all memory and eventually crash the system (on a side note, wasn't the 2.4 kernel supposed to kill runaway processes for you? Not happening here). I'm not a developer, but I found instructions on how to take a backtrace manually and have done so in the attached file. Thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
