First off, if you want to set breakpoints in situations like this, I suggest you use
PalmDebugger and forgo source level debugging. Other than that, I'd just point out
that you get a reset launch code when the device is reset, and the same goes for the
emulator. You've got limited stack space (more so than usual) when launched in this
way, and you're also limited in terms of which APIs you're allowed to use. I suggest
avoiding anything even remotely tricky in this launch code because an error in that
code requires up-arrow reset to work around, and few users know about that.
Furthermore, those that do often forget to reset again once they've removed the
offending program, thereby unintentionally disabling beaming (library isn't loaded). I
like to set a flag and then actually do the work the next time the app is launched
normally.
