  You mean that you can go to full screen when you set the internal
memory size lower, or somehow the VM now runs on 3850 with 12MB heap
size?

  This is about the internal memory size to workaround the Game API
bug?  If so, maybe the nicer behavior would be to check the underlying
iPAQ version and set the internal memory size lower if it is 38xx.

  Oh uh, that sounds familiar.

  I saw this bug way back days and once I fixed.  Maybe the source
code I started might be an old one...

  Let me see if it is the case,
