http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/geeksounds.shtml\),
LED & Vibrate are not supported, Remind Me Sig same as
Sig, Remind is "3 Times", Play Every is "5 minutes",
Play # of times is "Once"

Title bar is on

No palette changing programs are used

No hacks or hack managers are installed

To reproduce error:
1. Set an alarm for an entry in an application that
uses the system alarm manager (eg.: Calendar, Tasks, or
Notepad)
2. Create a new entry in DiddleBug and set the entry's
alarm to the exact same time as set in step 1

When the alarm goes off, the unit will freeze with a
constant and continual alarm tone. The screen will not
respond to any input. The only way to unfreeze the
unit is to perform soft reset.

This has happened on my Garmin iQue 3600 and on my
PalmOne Zire 31.

This will also occur if a DiddleBug snoozed alarm
occurs at the same time of an Alarm Mgr initial alarm,
vice-versa, or any combination of those factors.
