Try uninstalling your app, soft reset and play with it. Also, run gremlins
for a while on your application with POSE. If you are accessing low memory
or writing over something, a fatal exception can happen. The debug rom will
pick up almost all memory imperfections. I had an application on my Palm
III (not mine) that seemed to work fine but caused a fatal exception
everytime I tried to do a system find. And it was a very simple application
that I don't think needed to do anything special as far as code is
concerned.

Subject: Can a program break a Palm?
What's the likelihood that one of my programs could trash my Palm? In the
program I am writing I only use the documented API's. I don't get into
memory management beyond what's in the GNU tutorial and the O'Reilly book.
I don't use hacks (not even sure what they are).
It's a replacement Palm that I just got from 3Com. A few minutes after I
hotsynched and loaded my program, I started having display problems and
fatal errors in all my apps, including the built-in ones. Unfortunately I
didn't spend any time using the pilot before I hotsynched, so I don't know
if it would have had the problem anyway.
