I recently build kpilot 3.1b8 and ran into a snag with the
conduit with
korganizer.  After syncing, korganizer would segfault when
trying to
read the updated .vcs file. I found that the conduit has
split the code
"NEEDS ACTION" into two lines.  A bit of snooping found that
the versit
code in korganizer had a patch for this problem, but the
patch was not
included in kpilot. After applying the patch, kpilot seems
to work
wonderfully.
