hang the entire system. This seems to be independent of the OS (3.0 or
newer) or the environment (Palm ROM, HandEra ROM, native hardware,
POSE). Also, on OS 3.5 or newer, calling up the menu toolbar when that
field has focus also causes the system to crash or hang (which makes
sense, since it has to access the field to decide which buttons to make
visible, but that doesn't get me much closer to figuring out what's in
that field that makes things go so wrong).
The secret seems to be doing a whole bunch of ErrFatalDisplayIfs on the field in question to make sure it was the type, size, etc. that I expected it to be. After adding enough of those tests (all of which pass), now the field behaves normally.
Weird. But hey, if it works, I can't complain. :-)
