Matt Davey you asked for success reports.

Thank you Fabrice Bellet!

I just started using evolution on Ubuntu.  I have an old hand-me-down
Handspring Visor that I have been playing with and I ran in to the same
bug with the undated todo item that the firmware puts in there when the
Visor is reset.  That brought me to this thread.

I am just finding my way through evolution.  I have not gone through the
todo-conduit.c code completely, but I applied the patch described in
bugzilla.  That makes sense to me as a fix.  I don't think it is a
pilot-link bug.  I think the problem is that the date value in the visor
is not initialized and has garbage in it.  I think probably, the code
for the pilot todo application should be fixed to iniitiaiize correctly.
I could be wrong about that.  I have not run a debugger on the conduit
to see that there really is garbage in the date value.

To fix it:

I did a "make" and "make install" in
/usr/src/evolution/2.10/calendar/conduits

I replaced libetodo_conduit.so

I also did a full "./configure" and "make all" and "make install" for
evolution, which took a long time and I don't think I really needed to
do that.

Now the Visor successfully syncs with evolution including the undated
todo item.
