>Description:
There is a problem with the synchronization routines in jpilot, which
cause the process to hang sometimes. Thomas Runge
<runge@rostock.zgdv.de> sent me a patch the other day which should
solve the problem. Here is his summary:
|As you probably found out, jpilot has a big problem with
|synchronizing. Almost everytime it freezes after that, all you can do
|is killing the process. Thats very annoying and I had a look into the
|sources. The problem was, that the author makes a lot of X-calls
|inside a signal handler and a debugging sessions shows, that the
|problem lies in XSync. I guess, it works on Linux, because they have
|thread-save X-libs, which we do not have by default, yet. Please find
|my patches attached, they work for me and will most probably work on
|every unix.
I've emailed the author, and he has said that this patch will be in
the next release of jpilot.
>How-To-Repeat:
This bug is intermittent, but it usually occurs after synchronization
with the pilot.

The following patch should be created as
