Hello,
Back in July, Martin van Velsen sent the following messages to the Palm
Developer's Forum. I did not see a resolution to this, but we are
encountering the same kind of behavior on a Palm III and a Palm Pro. The
most curious thing is that the error seems to occur at the end of
hotsync, during the "cleaning up, please wait" message. We put code in
our application to display an alert at the very beginning of our
application, and the fatal exception occurs before this alert appears.
Similar to Martin's problem, the code works in the Emulator in all the
Roms we've tested. We're developing on Mac with CodeWarrior. Our
application is a multisegment app, and we've checked that each segment is
less than 64k, and that pilotmain and MSL runtim PalmOS library are in
the first code segment.
The release build of our app does not seem to exhibit this problem, and
we are able to debug the application on a real device from codewarrior.
It seems to be only hotsync that has the trouble.

Subject: Fatal Exception Install App
Hi all,
I've recently taken up PalmPilot programming using gcc under windows
95/NT. I'm using the Emulator to test the app against a variety of
debug ROMS. Sofar the app has been working fine. Today I tried
installing the .prc file on a Palmpilot Professional and a PalmPilot V
On both machines the hotsync failed with a fatal exception on the
PalmPilot. The professional version worked after a hard-reset, the
Palm V refused to function even after a hard-reset. Any clues what's
going on here ?

Sorry I meant soft-reset instead of hard-reset of course.
