I've done some more research on this issue and have come to the
following discovery. The eToDo conduit wasn't actually freezing. It was
the time sync conduit that was causing my PDA to freeze. Try disabling
this conduit and see if you can successfully synch your Palm. Read on
for more info.

Along the way, what I thought was the etodo conduit freezing was
actually the conduit deleting and adding every todo task each time it
ran. It was doing this because I had the conduit set to Copy from PDA.
To figure this out, I ran gpilotd from the command-line of my user
account (not root). You'll need to kill the process if it's already
running. The output messages were extremely helpful in tracking down
what gpilotd was up to. Interestingly, the process of deleting each task
is much more time intensive than adding them all back.

Along the way, what I did find was that the time synchronization conduit
was causing a crash while the Palm was displaying the message
"Synchronizing To Do List". Try turning off your time sync conduit to
see if that helps.

If others get the same result as I am, it looks like we can finally
close this ticket and open a new ticket for the time conduit. If you
want to keep digging, I suggest reading the info at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash to setup debugging. It was
very helpful.
