A suggestion for the Palm team: move all APIs which developers should not
use out of the public headers. Put them into Palm-internal header files
which are not made available to developers.
I'm sure you've thought of this - and I am sure it would be a minor pain to
actually do - lots of source file editing. Probably one of those 'when we
have time' projects...

If you are using SysTimerCreate for this, you are corrupting the kernel
scheduling tables and adjacent low memory data structures. When we say this
function is for system use only, we mean it. DO NOT USE SYSTEM TIMERS. You
have no idea the damage you're causing to the operating system.
