This certainly doesn't seem like a PalmOS bug. Basically, you can't redefine
a data type to be different from what that data type was defined as when
they built PalmOS itself! In other words, if PalmOS was compiled assuming
that "enums" are always bytes, then any enum that you pass into PalmOS had
better be only a byte or else unpredicatable things are going to happen.
Using project settings that are different in this respect from the PalmOS
"standard" are going to get you into trouble.
Actually, I don't think that an O/S API should use these types of somewhat
"abstract" language constructions at all, since they can be highly compiler
dependent. This issue of what the width of an "enum" is is a typical
problem, especially since it can be redefined in a "project settings" dialog
instead of being forced in a header or something.
