Bug#412093: generating more info on the bug report

[pedro bulach gapski <pbgapski@gmail.com>]

I have done the following steps to gather information on this report:

   1. backup with pilot-xfer
   2. altered my palm PIM data
   3. sync with kpilot
   4. another backup with pilot-xfer
   5. restore of the first backup with pilot-xfer

Indeed, I could confirm that alterations done on the palm calendar were
lost after the sync with kpilot.

I will use the diff of the files of backups referenced on items 1 and 4
as a baseline. To begin with, let me analyze the to-dos. I used the
following sequence of commands:
gapski@kalma:palm$ read-todos --file backup/ToDoDB.pdb -w> todo1
gapski@kalma:palm$ read-todos --file backup_20070302/ToDoDB.pdb -w> todo2
gapski@kalma:palm$ diff todo1 todo2

Note that 2 recently added to-dos were lost.

Repeating similar actions on the calendar databases yields similar results.

Therefore I could generate a repeatable situation where syncing causes
data loss.

Tests were run on an up-to-date (as of today) debian etch.

If I can get my hands on another device I will test again to rule out
device problems.
