Compile from SVN as follows:

1) Get source code as usual
2) Add --enable-debug to your configure arguments
3) Compile and install

Run kpilotDaemon from a konsole; you may want to add --debug 3 to the 
command-line arguments. You will see something like this:

adridg@ham:~/CodeYard/kpilot+$ /tmp/kpilot/bin/kpilotDaemon
>main
  >getDebugLevel
! [int main(int, char**)]
!   Is still not configured for use.

... and lots more of that. There's your debug output. Send it to a file with

Is the encoding for the Palm set correctly? There's no way for KPilot to 
detect that you're using Japanese on the handheld, and if you sync with 
something like Latin-1 the Japanese certainly will get borked.

Please do. We can whip up some small test apps to fiddle with the data. We're 
always lacking, though, in usable data for tests in a structured way 
(obviously because people don't want to give out their address books).
