Hi,

The recently released gnome-pilot package (2.0.13-7.fc5.5) crashes on
every sync attempt, for me at least.

I've updated the following bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189294

and have attached a patch (actually, a meta-patch) that fixes the bug.

The problem was the inclusion of a patch that removes a memory leak in
gnome-pilot, but inadvertently triggers a free(NULL) in the pilot-link
library.  It doesn't cause that behaviour when linked against pilot-link
0.12.0pre*, but with the welcome downgrade to 0.11.8, causes a crash
every time for me.

Regards,

Matt
