[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Contacts sync corruption

I'm generally very happy with Missing Sync 5, but I just discovered a
bug in contact synchronization.  I believe it happens when both of the
following conditions exist for a given contact:
	- empty Last Name field
	- non-empty birthday field

I found this out because I have my mom and dad in my phone as, simply,
"Mom" and "Dad."  They were fine until I added their birthdays to their
contact entries in my Mac OS address book.  Now, their names don't
appear right when viewing them on my Treo's phone book, i.e. they appear
like this:

Mom.XXX-YYY-ZZZZ

Where XXX-YYY-ZZZZ is one of the phone numbers I have stored.  This
phone number is interpreted by the contacts app to be the last name
instead of the phone number.

Version: 5.02
OS:  MacOS 10.4.3
Phone: Treo 650

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks.
-Tony
