Palmpilot sync problems with both kpilot, jpilot, pilot-sync, ...

[Rodolfo Alcázar]

Palm pilot, by the moment, cannot sync apparently due to a bug on
udev-0.58-1, FC4, which causes a huge delay on ttyUSB creation, moment
by when palm is not polling for sync anymore. You can test it. See 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161058
seems duplicate of:

Isnt that your problem?
