For example, I get a crash in DmCloseDatabase by doing this:
LocalID dbID;
DmOpenRef dbP;
dbID = DmGetDatabase(0, 0);
dbP = DmOpenDatabase(0, dbID, dmModeReadWrite);
DmCloseDatabase(dbP);
File index 0 is the ~300K System file in ROM. If I open it as dmModeReadOnly
it doesn't crash in the DmCloseDatabase().
Here is the crash in xcopilot/gdb:
89 DmCloseDatabase(dbP);
(gdb) s
Bus error: wrote a long to ROM address 0x10c22e6a
Bus error: read a word from odd address 0x00000001
Now this is on xcopilot which is running a 2.0 Pro ROM so this may not happen
on a modern device.
