ubject: Renaming Using DmSetDatabaseInfo

It seems that using DmSetDatabaseInfo to rename an application or a resource library causes problems on OS 5 devices.

If I do the following:

dBID = DmFindDatabase(usCardNo, "foo");

err = DmSetDatabaseInfo (usCardNo, dBID, "bar", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

the renamed application (or shared resource) will cause a crash if you try to delete it from the launcher. A previous thread:

http://news.palmos.com/read/messages?id=124896#124896

discovered this as well, but there was never any real resoultion.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a confirmed OS bug? Is there a workaround? Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.

Perhaps the prudent path is to do a reset after you rename an application?

Even without knowing this specific bug, I always reset after renaming applications to be on the safe side.
