What version of 'operator new' is this: the one in the Metrowerks library,
or have you defined your own? If it's the MSL one, it appears to throw a
bad_alloc exception in this case. Since your code doesn't catch the
exception, your program should abort suddenly as described.
My advice: use local versions of the memory operators that trivially wrap
MemPtrNew and MemPtrFree without throwing exceptions. It's old-fashioned
but seems to well suited to the minimalist Palm programming mindset.
