The problem is the dynamic heap. I have tested on gremlins with all roms
and it runs fine on everything greater than the Personal. It fails on the
Personal very quickly. When it fails on the Personal, it is usually in a
constructor and the PalmPilot does not return control to my app gracefully.
I guess I could check for memory size but I would rather popup a message as
soon as the user enters the app on the Personal. I have one user who has
reported that the crash corrupted his data.
