Are any of the things PrefSetAppPreferences point to in Flash?
How are you determining the size of the preferences?
Are there any global strings (are these copied?) or other things which
should not be changable, so you have an unintended hardware enforced const
now, and it only worked before because the string (or whatever) was
writable?
Does it still lock if you disable that one call (to PrefsSet...)?

The apps are normally set in the prefs database (SavedPref.prc/pdb or some
such). I don't have a problem when I use this call.
I do have a problem in a different version that tries to write a resource
(they are databases, but of the .prc form instead of the .pdb form).
