In my HandyShopper app, I was using 1bpp bitmaps to draw certain screen elements. On various Clie devices that sometimes locked up the device. I worked around the problem by defining a custom font with the images I needed and using the custom font instead of the 1bpp bitmaps. A bit of a PITA but it works. (And Clie devices are all OS 4.x or higher, so you know it's safe to use a custom font).
