I have encountered behavior in the past where I had an application which had
a single segment CODE resource - and its size was hovering right at the
maximum-allowable size (65505 bytes?). When I added a small amount of code
at that point to push it over the limit, CodeWarrior didn't complain, and
would download my application to POSE. However, when I used both HotSync
Manager and Palm Buddy (on my Macintosh) to attempt to load this application
to a real device, both would fail and didn't provide me with an error
message telling me why the device would refuse to load my application.
Since I was keeping a close eye on the size of the application, I thought
that this might be the case, so I segmented the application and that solved
the problem.
So, I would suspect that I discovered a bug with the interaction between
CodeWarrior and POSE. Without knowing more, I am not sure to whom to submit
a bug report.
I *do* know that when I tried to *drag* the application to POSE when it was
over the limit, that POSE gave me an error dialog, but actually running the
source-level debugger in CodeWarrior did *not* alert me to any problem.
If you want any additional information, please let me know.
