Thanks, David, for the reply.
1. The warm reset in this instance was no help; it wouldn't break the loop. The
hard reset was the only alternative (except for the lucky break I described.)
2. I understand what the OS designers are up against, since
I've "been there and done that". I'm an old guy.
A small 68000 program for my T5 would load and test normally under the Palm
OS Debugger. Closing the debugger would begin a normal soft reset of the T5,
but a fatal exception would occur just before the "Tungsten" logo would
normally appear. A warm reset would get past this, but tapping the "H
Work-around: PalmPhotoDisplayImage Failure In Landscape Orientation
Background:

The sequence of #include statements can be important.
In a test program, I had
#include "ImageLib.h"
#include "ImageLibCommon.h"
#include "ImageLibTraps.h"
The compiler (gcc) emitted "warning: possibly bad __callseq__ `trap #xx" for
every functiion call in ImageLib.h.
I looked at
Palm OS Debugger (Version 2.3.7.0) gets the "Location" information for global
variables wrong, which causes it to display incorrect values -- as seen in the
below examples, captured from POD windows:

Hi Tam --
Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my libraries, and I think I'm running
the latest PalmPhoto for the T3. Here's what I've done concerning that library:
I downloaded PalmOne_SDK_v3[1].0.zip (back in Nov. 2006) from
http://developers.palm.com/pe/forums/displaypost.jsp?postID=1014

Hi --
The VFS API provides operations like open, read, write, close, and so on,
on a virtual file system designed to operate somewhat like MS-DOS.
The data in the file to which these operations are applied is only a bit
stream; the meaning of the data isn't relevant. (Plainly put, VFS f
Hi, Ryan--
The only hardware I've had a chance to test is my own T3 and a friend's
Treo650 (which can't rotate or expand its display, so the problem wouldn't show
there). As I noted, the PalmPhotoDisplayImage all-white landscape image problem
doesn't happen on the T3 simulator or the T5 sim
Thanks for answering, Lee!
I knew the 5-year-old T3 was no longer being marketed by Palm, but thought
there could be a lot of people "out there" like me, who still use the T3
because of its 320x480 landscape display. My product makes good use of that
feature (at least on the simulators) to show
his one. It would help to know whether the all-white image in T3's
landscape mode is a known bug in PalmPhotoDisplayImage, or something
that I should continue trying to overcome.
Thanks for your time and help.
