Draw crashes on OmniGo

Hi

I've gotten reports of my Draw program crashing on the OmniGo. It happens
each time the user brings up the TextStyleControl menu. It just simply hangs
the OmniGo, and the user has to use Shift-On-Next to reset the unit. When I
run Draw on the EC version of the OmniGo emulator I have no problems, not
even a warning. When I run it on my clean OmniGo, it crashes, just as the
users describe.

I've checked both the SDK books (Objects Volume 2) and the TCTRLC.GOH and
TCTRLC.DEF files, as well as the FAQs. Nothing is mentioned about this
problem. The TextStyleControl object has to be on the
GAGCNLT_SELF_LOAD_OPTIONS list, and I add it to the list. The program crashes
under Swat without it, so I know it's in there.

Any ideas on why the TextStyleControl object seems to hang on the OmniGo?
It seems like it has to be on a GCN list that the books don't mention, since
the menu isn't even built-out before the device hangs.

The program and source code are available via my web site, under the
Software page. Look for the "OmniGo Draw V1.0.4".
