OK, that worked.  Well, actually, I used /dev/usb/tts/0, which worked.

I tried, but can't figure out how to get gdb started.  I've never used it 
before.  

I did find that with the listen block above, it didn't segfault anymore when I 
add the -d sync:6 back in.

I downloaded the CVS, but it doesn't seem to have a .configure and I'm not 
sure how to manually kickstart the make process.  The INSTALL doc requires 
running .configure and I didn't find anything else to the contrary.  Let me 
know if I missed something.

I'm still using coldsync-3.0-pre3.tar.gz which now seems to work with the 
listen block above.  So, am I missing something in my command line that was 
causing the problem?  

Thanks again for all your help.  I'll try to further assist in tracking down 
any bugs, if you are willing to hold my hand through the areas I am not 
familiar with.  ie, running gdb (am am familiar with debuggers, but never 
used gdb) and installing from the cvs.  A gentel nudge towards any 
documentation I've missed is probably all I need. :)
