I'm not the fellow who started this thread, but I'm also having trouble
synching a palm on -CURRENT.

My palm is a Zire 31, I have uvisor loaded (and ucom and all that) and
I'm using pilot-xfer to load apps onto the palm.  This mostly works, but
some prc files (applications) particularly larger ones (say > 20KB) do
not install.  The USB connection seems to time out.

The command I use looks something like:

$ pilot-link -p /dev/cuaU0 -i .palm/backup/CoPilot.prc

I start the sync on the palm, then type the line above.  The palm
indicates that the synch has started but the transfer never progresses.
This same procedure works fine for non-application databases - sizable
ones (>3MB).  I've tried both pilot-link 0.11.8 from ports and
0.12.0-pre4 compiled from srcatch, and they both exhibit the same
problem.

I'm happy to provide traces or anything else that would be helpful, or
to try other ideas and patches.
