If you use any of the dynamic control creation functions
(FrmAddSpaceForObject, FrmRemoveObject, FrmNewLabel, FrmNewBitmap,
CtlNewControl, etc.), then PrvFixupPointers gets called to adjust various
pointers to controls contained within the form. PrvFixupPointers has a bug
in it that causes label text to be corrupted. I don't recall, but I think
this bug also strikes in other situations (when not using dynamic controls).
The symptom of this bug striking is: intermittently corrupted labels. If
you add or subtract from the number of controls on the form, it often goes
away or moves to a different control.
This bug is supposedly fixed in Palm OS 4.0.
