Nokia N70 works with 0.6.12, fails with 0.6.13

[Tom K]

A couple of weeks ago I installed gnokii 0.6.12 on my laptop, and 
gnapplet, dated 20060125, on my N70. The laptop has a 3Com Bluetooth 
dongle, and was already paired and communicating successfully with the 
phone. gnokii worked as expected - some operations were not supported by 
the phone, but that's not gnokii's problem.

I upgraded to 0.6.13 a few days ago, and gnokii stopped working. I've 
enabled logging in my ~/.gnokiirc, as follows:

[global]
port = 00:11:22:33:44:55
rfcomm_channel = 14
model = series60
connection = bluetooth

[logging]
debug = on

and here are the responses to gnokii --identify.

First, 0.6.12.

- Phone:

RfCOMM: on, Ch#14
timeout: 30 sec/5 sec
(and when laptop gets to 'Serial device: opening device 00:11:22:33:44:55')
RfCOMM connection

At this point, both devices hang, and nothing further happens until I 
cancel the command on the laptop, at which time gnapplet halts on the phone.

Apologies for the long post, but I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
