	I can confirm that this does not work with a Tungsten T2 or 
Tungsten T3 on Linux, under the latest 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. I haven't tried 
my m505 yet (its charging right now), but I'll do that in a bit.

	And don't forget to rmmod the visor driver first, of course, 
otherwise you risk deadlocking the usb subsystem, and depending on your 
kernel, this could likely result in a hardware hard lock (it does on my 
boxes here using pilot-link over libusb).

	See above.

	Coldsync also doesn't appear to work with data segments that are 
> 64k or files with a very large number of records. I have one file here
that has 31k records in it. Its a monster, and Coldsync just sits there 
forever tickling the Palm. I let it sit for 2 hours, and it hadn't 
progressed at all on this file.

	Any solutions to that?
