No, you can't expect that the handles will remain valid.
Reason #1: After a hard reset/restore, the handles will change.
Reason #2: Handles are raw memory addresses. In some future palm os device
with multiple slots, moving a card from one slot to another would change
addresses. That's why the mem mgr stores local IDs for all intra-heap
references.
