If there's not enough memory to store the app, HotSync Install will fail and
the app will never make it onto the device. However, your app also uses
memory as it runs. So even if it 'fits' on the device, it can crash if it
doesn't have enough working memory. Therefore, it is good practice to give
an error if your app cannot allocate enough memory during runtime (e.g.
checking if MemHandleNew() calls are successful).
Perhaps you can duplicate the problem in POSE. Try filling up memory by
installing PDB's and other PRC's to near capacity and run your app and see
how it behaves.
