Chris,
Rest assured that we are indeed taking it seriously. I am investigating the
problem from a development support perspective. As soon as I have more
information on the problem, I'll post it to this list.

Subject: Re: Corrupt DB with Mac Desktop 2.1?
there appears to be a bug in MacPak 2 that can corrupt databases. i've seen
reports of this from several devs on totally unrelated apps, and also from
several users. it appears to be relatively rare, and i've sent info to Palm
about it, including a sample corrupted database. from examining it in a hex
editor, all the data is intact, but several bogus bits got set in the record
headers, and the appinfo block was also corrupted. after repairing these by
hand, it worked for a while, until MacPak corrupted it again. Palm has been
essentially unresponsive about this. i don't know if they are even
investigating it or are taking it seriously.
