 Debian already lists a very similar bug against pilot-link, #335474, in
 the Important bugs section. Thanks very much for your time.

The bug #335474 is now solved by pilot-link from experimental.

You said your bug is _not_ solved by using pilot-link 0.12.0-pre4.
You should open a bug in the upstream bug tracker at
http://bugs.pilot-link.org/ so your problem will be corrected.

I'd somehow managed to miss that; thank you.

Done; it's listed as

So, I take it that the problem is _not_ in Jpilot itself, but is in the
pilot-link library? If so, I'll happily consider this bug closed and go
bother those folks. :)

Thanks for all your help so far!

 Just install libpisock-dev from experimental and rebuild jpilot with it.

Done. There's some improvement - the Blazer* files now transfer without
any problem - but the link still dies [1] on HTTP Library, after
failing to retrieve NetFrontLib:

Bug#336379: jpilot locks up when synchronizing Tungsten E2

 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.

pilot-link 0.11 does not support files bigger than 32 KB. pilot-link
0.12.0-pre4 does but is still beta.

You can get pilot-link 0.11.8-0.12.0-pre4-1 from Debian experimental if
you want. You will have to recompile jpilot with it to -- possibly --
avoid the jpilot crash you have.

Maybe I should also provide in experimental a version of jpilot compiled
with pilot-link 0.12.0-pre4?

It looks like only the last two files are 32k. Perhaps there's also a
format problem of some sort?

It seems that I already have that version. Perhaps my jpilot isn't
