i need the output of multisync with "Debug" enabled in the options tab.

An vcard (the format we use for syncing) as several name fields. One for
last name (doe here), one for first name (joe) and also a fullname field
which is the name written out (so "John Doe"). The palm plugin can store
these seperetaly. When it syncs it makes the fullname like "First" + " "
+ "Last". So i really would like to know, where the comma appears the
first time...
