Thanks everyone for the help on this.. The utility was very helpful and Andre's suggestion regarding startup code in first segment turned out to do the trick. Had a source file with startup code in the third segment..
Thanks again for the assistance.. Jim "Andre Schoorl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My guess is that your reset and HotSync handlers are calling code outside of the first segment of your application. Use the tool Chris mentionned to debug them, and re-organize your segments. -- Andr� -----Original Message----- From: Dan Patrutiu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 11:52 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: App crash on HotSync or reset "Jim Duffy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Hey guys, > > I'm currently working on a new version of my software..

PC contains the address of the next instruction to execute and normally, a bad thing happens if it is changed. The exact cause for this is hard to diagnosticate from what you've written here. I think you are doing something illegal, like going to a memory address (possible in the stack) and overwriting the data there, using a non-valid pointer (which may have been freed), going out of an array bounds or many other reasons. Try to isolate the problem in the code by debugging the source, and see the exact location where it fails.
