The sizeof operator returns a size_t, which, on Palm OS with both GCC
and CodeWarrior, is the same size as a long. So your code is wrong: you
should be using %lu instead.
Rather than trying to remember how big a size_t is, when passing one
to a varargs function like printf it's a common idiom to cast it to
something known, as you have done:
> TraceOutput( TL( appErrorClass, "re-allocated %hu bytes of record
> memory", UInt16(gNumRecordsAllocated * sizeof(UInt16)) ) );
or to use an explicit temporary:
> UInt16 BytesAlloc = gNumRecordsAllocated * sizeof(UInt16);
> TraceOutput( TL( appErrorClass, "re-allocated %hu bytes of record
> memory", BytesAlloc ) );
Both of these produced the appropriately sized argument for %hu for me.
I was unable to reproduce the problem you say you had with the former.
