[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Missing Sync for Palm OS 4.0.2 beta 6 now available

[W Yu]

Not good. Not good at all!

Installed 4.0.2b5 over the previous 4.0.2b3 in OS X 10.3.5. Reviewed all
settings and attempted to hotsync. Initially a dialogue box would come up
asking for Keychain access permission and the progress window would pop out.
Then it's just wait and wait and wait. I can see that there's a slow stream
of slow but continuous HD activities (in and out), but there's no real
progress in the progress bar. Eventually my Palm (T2) would abandon its
communication attempt and shuts down. MS on the Mac would need a force quit
to stop.

On subsequent attempts, the keychain dialogue would no longer appear, but
the progress bar just spins and spins.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Weiyun
