Thanks to Kirk from the folks at icebergint.com... AG Connect broadcasts launchcode 51424 both before and after the modem sync process. My code was converting this launch code to something else and trying to access globals, when the launchFlags indicated that this was not an app launch and globals were not available.
Goes to show, you got to keep a close eye on the launch parameters.... you can get called from anywhere...
