Here is the problem I am having in a bit more detail:
I perform a processor / serial port intensive task for
about 20 minutes. After this task is completed, the
function I use for delaying code breaks.
The device does not appear to go to sleep and I call
the function to delay the sleep timer.
I am assuming that the function TimGetTicks breaks
after this 20 minute process.
Interestingly enough, this problem occurs only on the
actual handheld units and not the emulator. I have
tried it on both the Palm M500 and M130.
Any ideas?

I will probably switch to SysTaskDealy at some point,
although I don't really need to delay all that much.
