AFAIK, for all current versions of Palm OS, a chunk with ID = 0 is left alone by the OS. So as Keith notes there's the issue of this memory being permanently lost (until a hard reset) if your code fails in some manner, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any issues with the OS trying to do something to the chunk behind your back.Then you should be worried about using this approach on a Palm OS 5.x = device. You are creating the chunk, but the system thinks it owns it. = At the very least, this means that the system won't clean up after your = application after it quits or crashes and you don't free the chunk = yourself. But there could be other problems, too, with the system = thinking that it owns the chunk and not you.
