Mike,
Thanks sounds kinda likely. From my recollection, old versions of Palm OS
(pre 3) zeroed memory, so you didn't need to worry about initialising things
if you wanted them to default to 0. OS 3+ doesn't guarantee anything about
the state of the memory that you are given, so explicitly setting zero is A
Good Thing(tm). Maybe POSE is (um) being nice and always giving you zero'd
memory?
Keith, maybe that's a thing you could have as an option? "Initialise
allocated memory blocks with rubbish".
Seeya,
David
