[pilot-db-list] FatalAlert Fatal Exception

[resident_genius <res...@ms...>]

I am perplexed.  I am trying to create a database with about 800 fields.
Don't ask. All fields but the first two are set to Integer, the first two
are strings.  When I had the database at around 100 field it was fine.  I
needed to increase to 800 when things got weird.  I have a Palm Vx running
OS v. 3.5.3.  Evertime I try to add a new record or modify existing records
and try to save the changes I get the message "FatalAlert Fatal Exception"
and have to restart my unit.  Strangely, if I am modifying an existing
record the changes are made when I restart, but it crashes my unit to do it.
I have 65% of system memory available with only 8 records input into this
database.  Something else that happened is I will get a phantom record as
the last record, each of its fields filled with seemingly random numeric
values or text.  This last time I got text from a mapping program I use
called Mapopolis inserted into the two string fields followed by lots of
numbers. Is this database corrupt?  What is going on? I really don't feel
like recreating that database again.
I love DB's simplicty but this is driving me bonkers.
