Package: jpilot
Version: 0.99.7-0.99.8-pre11-2
Severity: important

When I try to synchronize my Tungsten E2, JPilot locks up "reliably" as
soon as it hits one of the "Blazer" files. I assume that this has
something to do with the format of the PDBs - the same errors occurs
with "pilot-xfer"; however, "pilot-xfer" supports a "--exclude <file>"
option, which allows me to get past the problem. Perhaps including a
similar feature in JPilot would be the simplest answer?

The list of files that causes "pilot-xfer" to crash (presumably, JPilot
would react the same way) is -

Blazer
Blazer CacheHistory
Blazer Cookies
Blazer_enUS
Blazer Field Autofill
Blazer Find Autofill
Blazer URL Autofill
HTTP Library
NetFrontLib

I've also seen reports of similar behavior by other people on the Net.

I'm attaching several of these files (retrieved by copying them to the
Tungsten's memory card) to this email in the hope that you'll find them
useful.
