Ian,

I seem to notice "Insufficient heap" problem occurs after a lot of development 
where I am continuously ftp'ing over new images -- wonder if a lot of 
filesystem activity fragments the heap.  I am building the capability into 
our Host side application to automatically load the program into the TINI 
device and start it (for upgrade/re-init capability).  The first step of this 
process is to run "reboot -a".
