I've done some more research on this issue and have come to the following discovery. The eToDo conduit wasn't actually freezing. It was the time sync conduit that was causing my PDA to freeze. Try disabling this conduit and see if you can successfully synch your Palm. Read on for more info.
Along the way, what I thought was the etodo conduit freezing was actually the conduit deleting and adding every todo task each time it ran. It was doing this because I had the conduit set to Copy from PDA. To figure this out, I ran gpilotd from the command-line of my user account (not root). You'll need to kill the process if it's already running. The output messages were extremely helpful in tracking down what gpilotd was up to. Interestingly, the process of deleting each task is much more time intensive than adding them all back.
Along the way, what I did find was that the time synchronization conduit was causing a crash while the Palm was displaying the message "Synchronizing To Do List". Try turning off your time sync conduit to see if that helps.
If others get the same result as I am, it looks like we can finally close this ticket and open a new ticket for the time conduit. If you want to keep digging, I suggest reading the info at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash to setup debugging. It was very helpful.
