Actually, when I was looking for the password hashes, I did a global search 
of my transaction logs.  The password doesn't appear anywhere, nor does 
its hash.  I consider this to be strange.

*nod*  Reading through the code I've discovered that.  If I turn on the 
multiple-databases flag (0x20), I get significantly farther in (nearly all 
RAM databases are synced before the next hang).

I've been playing with it, and I suspect that this version of PalmOS (4.1.3) 
may simply -not- -support- the database-at-a-whack protocol.  This would 
surprise me, since it does state its DLP compatibility as 1.2, but I can't 
for the life of me get it to work.
