"Wrong packet type on queue"

[Robin Jeffries <Robin.Jeffries@Eng>]

I'm getting the above error message on my console repeatedly when I 
try to sync my Palm III.  (It was preceded by the message "wierd 
packet").

Two possible causes:

- my Pilot case cracked, and 3COM sent me a new one.  I sync on both 
my PC (for everything) and my Solaris Workstation (for calendar 
appointments).  This is the first time I have tried to sync with 
solaris.

-  When I started the sync, I unthinkingly removed the pilot from the 
cradle in the middle of the sync (someone came into my office and 
asked if I was free for a meeting, and I blindly picked up my Pilot to 
look at the date).  I cancelled the sync on the pilot, but the 
PilotManager was wedged and I had to kill the process.  I'm not sure 
if the problem was going on during that first sync, or if the 
interuption caused the problem.  

I just restarted the pilot manager, and get the following.  Both the 
pilot and the desktop think that a connection has been made, though 
the pilot then sends me a dialog box about the connection being 
broken.  The console shows: 

%PilotManager &
[1] 22902
% X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Weird packet

and now my pilotmanager application is wedged.

Will I ever be able to sync again?
