Interesting. With a bit of phantasy this might explain some crashes that I experienced. (Although I don't believe too much in this explanation.)
Here is another question on T5 problems: http://www.bitsnbolts.com/tungsten_t5.html states the following: Out of memory error during Backup/Restore operation (Dm 0201): This error is caused by a bug in the Treo 650/Tungsten T5 that 3rd party developers cannot work around. Essentially, the more data you read/write from the NVFS system on the device, the more likely you are to see this problem. This problem also can show up as a random reset (Treo 650) or Fatal Exception (Tungsten T5). Does anybody know what they are talking about? BTW, I've got once this error and there was no crash. Following trials to repeat the situation did not show any problem.
