I had the disk space too, the first time. After the crash, I ran again
and then didn't have the disk space.
Oh -- you mean you had the disk space the second time? Oh no...

Wish I had seen this before this morning. Did a sync (after copying the
old addressbook.db into the new one), and now all of my contacts entries
are duplicated in both places!
Also, evolution crashes every time I delete or modify a contact. I'll
try to get a backtrace for a bug report when I have time.

I haven't had this problem (yet). And at this point syncing seems to be
reasonably reliable, I can even delete stuff from the Palm and have it
deleted on the desktop, which is how I'm removing all of the duplicate
entries.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one...
