Sure, it can fail if the handle you feed it is invalid, if the heap is bad, if
you've locked the handle too many times, if you've fed in a pointer to a pointer
allocated with MemPtrNew, or the if block referenced by the handle has been
freed.
Downloading and examining the Palm OS source code helps answer questions like
these.

Subject: Can MemHandleLock() fail?
I'm assuming that it can't, seeing as it is only incrementing a
field in the Memory Block's header. But we all know what happen to
people who assume. :-)
