Public bug reported:

Using a Palm V in its cradle with a Serial-to-usb cable, I'm unable to
access the pam with gnome-pilot or pilot link.  both kpilot and jpilot
CAN access the Palm V using /dev/ttyUSB0 (though kpilot erased my palm
when I first tried syncing win kontact), so I suppose the device is
being set up correctly.

/dev/ttyS0 doesn't work at all, as far as I can tell, and in fact
attempts to sync over this device sometimes break the working
/dev/ttyUSB0 connection on subsequent attempts.

Steps to reproduce:

-set gpilotd device to /dev/ttyUSB0
-attach usb-to-serial cable to palm serial out.
-attach cable to usb port
-execute:
$ gpilotd

-press hotsync button on palm cradle
-wait for gpilotd to crash.

Again, pilot-link seemsto be affected as well as gpilot -- it also
fails, while jpilot and kpilot both handle the situation without any
problems.

Here' is some typical output of gpilotd (somewhat long).
