I'm not sure if this is classified as a bug or "undefinied behavior".

To replicate: Create an alert in constructor, put whatever title you want and whatever 
message you want.  BUT, at the end of the
message put an extra carriage return or two (like you wanted to make the alert 
pretty).   Now build your app, run it, and call your
alert (with FrmAlert() of course).  In the alert dialog box, tap anywhere on the 
message text and it chokes.

Debug Rom Results (3.5 tested):
Here you get the Field.c, line:132 error followed by a couple of others.  Stack trace 
shows it happening deep inside FrmAlert().

Release Rom Results (2.0,3.5 tested):
By dragging my pen over the alert you can make the alert text disappear.  What looks 
like is actually happening is that PalmOS is
scrolling the field within the Alert dialog.

That's all.  Killed a solid hour tracking the Gremlins error down.  Especially since 
it was just after I had finished a module where
was dinking around with insertion points.
