Our application handles a non-global launch code (via an alarm).  Someone has 
inadvertently added a global flag to the code that handles the launch code.  The code 
in question only READS the global - it does not change it.  I have demonstrated to 
myself and my colleagues that this code cases a Bus Error on the emulator.  However, 
on a real device (m500), a crash does not occur.

My question to you all is:  What is your expectation for the state of the device after 
this global is accessed on a real device?  An immediate crash (not seen), a crash 
eventually, or never a crash.

We do have an intermittent problem and I'm holding this global access suspect, but we 
have been unable to demonstrate a crash after knowingly running this code several 
times.

Thanks,
Kevin
