Just for what it's worth, which is likely not much; I have also had this error and forced hard reset, but not with my Dell. It was with an iPAQ 3835, happened almost a year ago. Freaked me right out. Luckily I've been making daily backups since I wrote a review of Sprite Backup, waaaaay back when it was called Sprite:Lite. So I'm never likely to lose more then a few recently-sent emails and recently-entered contacts, stuff like that. Usually I'll run a Phatware dbExplorer PIM database backup if I'm getting too many new appointments/contacts and don't feel like stopping whatever else I'm doing on the PPC to run a full backup. That's proved reliable as well, restoring nicely.

I posted a thread with this error on Brighthand back when it happened, but aside from a few sympathetic comments nothing very useful came of that. Seems the 'just in time debugging' is a bit of an ironical gesture on some programmer's part, a sort of wink and a smile just as you're about to lose all your RAM data. A joke in bad taste, if that was the intention.
