Description of problem: When I try to synchronize the empty address book of my Sony Clié PEG-NX60 (connected via the USB cradle) with an empty directory, msynctool crashes with a segmentation fault. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libopensync-0.36-2.fc9.i386 libopensync-plugin-palm-0.35-3.fc9.i386 libopensync-plugin-file-0.35-3.fc9.i386 pilot-link-0.12.3-13.fc9.i386 msynctool-0.35-4.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Every time (for me) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete ~/.opensync . 2. Setup: mkdir ~/pim/test1 msynctool --addgroup TestPalm msynctool --addmember TestPalm file-sync msynctool --addmember TestPalm palm-sync msynctool --configure TestPalm 1 # path: ~/pim/test1, objtype: contact msynctool --configure TestPalm 2 # sockaddr: "usb:", leave the rest alone msynctool --discover TestPalm 1 msynctool --discover TestPalm 2 3. Run the synchronization: OSYNC_TRACE=~/pim/trace OSYNC_PRIVACY=1 gdb --args msynctool --sync TestPalm run # Put the PDA in the cradle and press the HotSync button. Actual results: msynctool crashes with a segmentation fault; see the attachment. Expected results: The synchronization completes successfully with no change to either side (since both are empty). Additional info: I can synchronize two directories fine, so I think the problem is on the Palm plugin side. The problem may just be with my Palm device, but if it can be reproduced with other devices, it may be worth investigating. I believe the synchronization worked fine with the Fedora 8 packages.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
