I remember that thread, but I don't think that the housekeeping requires my
app to stop since the palm doesn't actually switch apps at midnight.
But the housekeeping is one of the things I thought of as a possible cause.

The archives mentioned this too, but my app is not handling any key events
so this is not happening (note that the problem is only reported by 2 users

Although I don't think this is happening, I can check for this to make
sure. I saw something about CRC-ing the globals to see if an apps writes in
there by mistake. Note that I don't get any warnings about this in POSE,
and I have tested a lot with different ROMs.
