Tungsten T2 Fatal error when using Find function

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Recently my T2 started crashing when I used the Find function (magnifier).
Gives message like "Fatal error " and then requests reset or just resets
itself

I fixed it by reinstalling everything, but now it has started crashing again
on using Find.

Can anyone advise a permanent resolution?

Please share, having a little difficulty find the link you refer to on
Palm and I get the same thing after a Find sometimes.

Freeware app Findtester identifies those apps that are causing
find to crash.

http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/findtester.shtml

In all likelyhood it could be a similar issue on your palm.
An application that doesn't handle global find correctly -
it seems you've already identified the culprit
"Documents To Go"
