David, thanks for the reply.
Well I know it's not a size(64MB card with 54MB free) or power(100%) issue.
I can say that this happens mainly when my application is responding to a
sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered so I know I may(probably) be memory
constrained. I am a little concerned that there shouldn't be too much
memory needed to create a prc/pdb file from a palm database. For instance
the DatabaseWrite() routine in the sample FTP program only uses about ~200
bytes of stack space.
Is there someone in Palm that you could point me to? I've been working
with the VFS for a long time and this has just now started happening (and I
haven't made any major changes in my code so it should easily be tracked
down.) The really strange part is that it is not at all reproducible.
Thanks,
Jason Kronz
