See

The marshalls patch updates for gtk api changes.  Without it, a junk
callback pointer is retrieved from the stack, leading to a subsequent
segfault.  There were compiler warnings when compiling gpilot that were
being ignored.  There are still others.

As it turns out, the memo-conduit appears to be the only conduit that
calls into this code.

The memo-file patch reverses change that was put in to prevent the
(unidentified) marshals problem from causing a segfault.  As a
byproduct, it broke memo-file syncing except where the memo-file
directory already existed or was created by hand.

That would be great, if you have lines of communication open!  Robert
Locke raised a fedora bugzilla ticket #113230 back in January, with a
pointer towards the gnome-pilot bugzilla ticket I've linked to above. 
We both mailed the redhat maintainer/packager but heard nothing back.
