I am reluctant to say this - but me too! I am using version 4.0.4 (59) with
Tiger and I have having lots of quits, one rather large crash and syncing
problems as well. 

The quitting situation is along the lines of go in and change a conduit or
turn a conduit off and Missing Sync will just close. It can also take
several attempts to open the application.

I also had a problem last night where I put a new contact onto my Treo, and
a different new one on the desktop and when I synced, neither of these would
transfer across to the other device, even though the Contacts conduit was
set to synchronise and the log reports 'OK Contacts'.

I have also seen Missing Sync quit during a sync (and my Treo 650 takes ages
to work out what has happened and clean up).

I also had a large crash in the middle of a sync where I ended up being
asked to send in an error report (something about kernel protection
failure). From my logs (see below) it appears to have been Conduit Manager
that crashed.

I have also noticed this weird message in my console log (it seems to be
associated with when I sync):

in -[NSTextFieldCell _objectValue:forString:errorDescription:],
AppKit.subproj/NSCell.m:1298


And in my system log, I found this information associated with my syncing
attempts and the big crash:

I thought it was because I have been playing around with iSync. I thought
syncing my contacts to Apple's Address Book with iSync would be a good idea,
but I have been having too many issues with the data not syncing properly
(and I need categories) that I have decided to go back to using only Palm
Desktop for contacts. Reading these emails has led me to think that it may
not be only peculiar to my circumstances.
