As I thought... Palm OS 5 does not (cannot) support the AMX kernel system traps. This 
actually makes sense when you think about what it would mean to fork a 68k process 
from within an ARM kernel... the emulator would have to be multi-threaded and 
re-entrant among other things. :oP

Other kernel resources such as semaphores and timers could perhaps be made to work, 
but I see very little benefit in doing so. Therefore I'd suggest taking the safe route 
for now, and assume none of those kernel APIs are (or will ever be) supported... but 
that they will eventually be replaced by ARM-native APIs in the not-too-distant future.
