Unless I miss my guess, this is happening during the photo jpeg library synch, and since no one's answered yet, I'll take a stab at it... (I've got a Zire 31 and banged on this for several hours before giving up and asking people likely to know.) For now, things are basically stuffed. The problem as I understand it (having been told by people in the #pilot-link IRC channel) is that Palm basically violated their own specs and are sending chunks of data during the sync that are larger than the 64k maximum they specified. The new minor revision of pilot-link is supposed to fix this, but at the moment it's not really compatible with anything (particularly not gnome-pilot) so it's a waiting game until everything catches up with the new pilot-link library. I was also told there's a hack-around that can be done by modifying the pilot-link source in a particular place to extend the size of the buffer, but I was also cautioned strongly that such a modification could also lead to severe corruption in the data that might well turn everything into goo. I am not terribly that keen on the idea of demolishing my address books, so umm... I'm waiting patiently now. :)
