[agthorr barsoom org: Bug#146346: gnome-pilot: infinite loop during restore]

[Mike Markley <mike markley org>]

Here's an interesting bug report that sounds at least superficially similar
to the problem I ran into...

Package: gnome-pilot
Version: 0.1.64-1
Severity: important

Recently, I put my batteries in backwards and accidently wiped the
memory in my Palm IIIxe (oops).  When I put it in the cradle and hit
the hotsync button, I'm asked if I'd like to restore.  I'd love to
restore :> It then begins uploading things to the Palm.  It runs for
several minutes, then gpilotd gets stuck in an infinite loop, using up
all available CPU.  The Palm eventually decides its lost contact with
the host.  Let me know if there's any further information I can
provide, or if you can suggest a workaround!

I attached to gpilotd with gdb and here's the stack trace:
