[missing-sync-palmos-talk] MS 4.0: Problems with WLAN and USB syncing; BT syncing not working at all

It appears that Missing Sync can stay in this state several
hours, even overnight.  My Mac slept over night, and Missing
Sync was still in this unresponsive state.  Sigh.

Fortunately turning Network syncing off and back on in
Missing Sync Preferences helps sometimes.  That causes the TCP
connection to be closed.  However, that takes some time since
TCP stays about a minute in FIN_WAIT_1 state before closing
completely.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to make Missing Sync Monitor
always responsive....  I'm going to next log out and back
in, that should reset the Missing Sync Monitor.
