I think the example programs in the RTK are really really outdated. I've never 
used any of them during the last 9 years and I don't know anybody who has used 
them. My guess is that these examples were never used except by the original 
authors in the very beginning 
of the RTK development.

For a real-world SyncML client, much more than the RTK is needed anyway (that's 
what libsynthesis is about).

The RTK is fine for efficiently encoding/decoding SyncML messages, but nothing 
beyond that.

I can't really help with the RTK example program - but I have a quick guess 
what *could* be the problem: As the smlXXXX_t structs have evolved over time 
and got new fields, it might well be that the ancient example does not 
initialize all fields correctly which might then crash the encoder. So a Q&D 
approach could be to memset all the structs to zero, so unused fields are at 
least defined.

The encoder/decoder itself is heavily in use by all of our products, so the API 
as defined in sml.h for sure works. So I'd recommend to look at libsynthesis 
usage of the RTK and build your program accordingly.

Best Regards,

Lukas
