I'd be about 95% sure that you have a problem.  Just because it works on the real 
device does not mean it's ok - probably you are lucking out and the corrupted memory 
(or whatever it is) just happens to not do something readily visible on the real 
device.  I've come to trust POSER almost implicitly in these manners - if it is 
crashing, there is a problem with your code.

My 2 cents.

I'm confused, too. :-)

I did originally believe that my hardware (a HandEra 330) would crash 
due to the same bug.  But my most recent test of this morning *worked*. 
  So now I'm not so sure it's a problem there after all.

I have done just about everything I can think of to make sure that the 
field is okay.  I call FrmGetObjectType to make sure it's really being 
considered a field.  I call FrmGetMaxChars to make sure it really has 
the size I've defined in the resource file.  It all checks out.  Only 
when I actually get to the point of pasting does POSE hang.  Yes, it 
hangs even with debug ROMs; no, POSE does not give me any advance 
warnings even with the debug ROMs.

I'd be glad to e-mail a copy if you want to check it out.
