Henk,
    Could this be the reason... I have a struct to hold my app settings.  I
make one declaration of that to be global.  In appstart i allocate memory
for it with memptrnew and a temporary memprt.  then i use in in many
functions with no problems.  then in appstop i try to free the memory with
MemPtrFree(currentSettings);  yet the simulator tells me i have an unfreed
chunk (same as the value of the pointer to the variable), and the device
softresets at this point.  how can i free the chunk of mem i am using for
this variable?  below is some relavent code from my app...

(the declaration is above all function calls, but below all function
headers)
typedef struct{
  Boolean monitor;
  UInt32 aUpdate;
  Char* lastUpdate;
  Char* license;
} appSettings;
appSettings *currentSettings;

(in appstart)
MemPtr temp;
UInt16 appSettingsSize;
appSettingsSize = sizeof(currentSettings);
temp = MemPtrNew(appSettingsSize);
currentSettings = temp;

(in appstop)
MemPtrFree(currentSettings);
