So this tells me you've written a small test application and verified the Palm OS is
not the problem. PrefGetAppPreferences returns noPreferencesFound (-1) the very first
time you run your app with a newly created POSE session.
You also say that the application which is having the problem is large and complex.
Have you considered the possibility of stack overflow when calling this function? How
big is your sRegPrefs structure? How much stack is available at that point in your
application? Try changing the code to dynamically allocate a pointer of that size to
hold that struct, rather than allocating it on the stack, and see if that changes
things.
Just some food for thought...
