Description madcap 2005-03-22 16:39:46 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When trying to synchronize my Exchange calendar to my palm using the
Connector, the exchange backend locks up and the synchronization times out.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Configure the gpilotd ECalendar conduit to synchronize an Exchange calendar.
2. Connect your palm and attempt to hotsync it.

Actual Results:
The synch times out- no events get synchronized (in either direction).

Expected Results:
The synchronization continues until completed.

How often does this happen? 
Always.

Additional Information:
I'm actually using Connector 2.0.4 from FC3, but that's not an item on the
version list.

I've released a test update for Fedora Core 3 containing the patch:

Comment 4 Dave Malcolm 2005-05-18 16:23:37 UTC 
Patch appears to be applicable to 2.2.* as well;

Only usage of the function appears to be as a callback for use with
e_xmlhash_foreach_key in e-cal-backend-exchange.c:get_changes

evolution-data-server/libedataserver/e-xml-has-utils.h declares the callback of
this type:
typedef void (* EXmlHashFunc) (const char *key, const char *value, gpointer
user_data);

I plan to apply the patch for Fedora Core 4 as well.

Thanks for the patch. Committed both to gnome-2-10 branch and HEAD. Should have
done this long time back. Sigh !!!
