yes -- it returns an index off by one, depending on the parity
of the sought index
if you ask SysBinarySearch to "find first" (set the last paramater to true),
the bug doesn't manifest.

Subject: Is SysBinarySearch broken in older Palm OS?
Say, is it my imagination or does SysBinarySearch behave incorrectly in
PalmOSes prior to 3.3?
I ask because I have a piece of code that behaves itself under 3.3 and
3.5 but seems to give me the wrong returned search indexes under 3.0
(using the same database). Have searched the knowledge base but couldn't
find any mention.
I'd post code but I'm not sure what use it would be as this problem only
seems to manifest itself under certain OS versions...
Any help appreciated!
