TimSetSeconds does a NotifyBroadcast to tell the other apps that the time
has changed. It's this notification that's causing problems.
When the sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify launch code is sent to your app, it
actually isn't running in the foreground (UI) task. It's running in the
background task. This makes notifications harder...
NotifyBroadcast attempts to handle this by putting the background task to
sleep, waking the UI task, doing the broadcast there, and then re-waking
the background task to continue. Apparently this isn't working for you,
probably because the UI task is busy doing something else (like handling
HotSync UI.)
I don't know exactly what "error waking task" means...
So I guess the short answer is TimSetSeconds (and anything else that does a
NotifyBroadcast) isn't allowed here. Sorry.
