[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Problems with 5.1b14

[E-Commerce]

Unfortunately, I have to say things got off to a rocky start. My  
first sync with 5.1b14 crashed my Treo 650 partway through the sync.  
Here's what was in the log:

Sync completed successfully - I don't think so. I then tried the  
Install, Quicken, and Photos conduits all one by one - each sync was  
successful. Moving closer to my full set, I tried my core PIM set,  
and it crashed the Treo again:

Again, the definition of success seems very suspect. At least this  
time Missing Sync was aware there was an error and popped up an alert  
(although the log still has no clue). So far, all data appears to be  
intact on both ends (well, my new task on the Palm didn't sync over,  
but nothing is corrupted), but crashing the Palm was not what I had  
in mind with this new version. ;-)

Even after this, if I sync conduits one at a time, they all appear to  
work fine. Tasks syncs fine by itself, as do the others. Only when I  
try to perform a full sync does it break.

Also, despite Contacts apparently syncing, I still do not have any  
photos for contacts with a birthday, contrary to the release notes  
for 5.1b11. If I modify a contact, then the photo gets pulled over.  
Otherwise, it doesn't "see" that it's missing data on the Palm side.

Reboot the MacBook. Soft reset the Treo. A third sync yielded:

Okay, maybe it's crashing when it tries to switch over to the PowerPC  
Pocket Quicken conduit:

Nope. Any suggestions?
