We just tried another pda here at work, without succes. This pda
wasn't updated to A05 though... Note that there won't be visible
feedback for about 10 seconds after you press the run button.
But strangely, sometimes it doesn't work for my pda either. It seems
to fail when there's a connection between the pda and the pc
(activesync or synce in linux). So try to disconnect activesync and
try again.
