Depending on how large the database is, and the average size of the
records, it *is* possible that you ran out of space. There is a big
discussion regarding this at PalmInfoCenter. Basically under the old way
records were stores, a (for example) 20 byte record took up 20 bytes. Under
the new NVFS system on the T5 and Treo 650, the minimum block size is 512,
so a 20 byte record would take up 512 bytes. You can see how this would be
very bad for a database with many small records.
