Re: D500 memory problem on startup

I remember having the same issue with a game a few years back. Its 
basically because you are running out
of heap for an individual class at runtime or the entire allocation for 
your MIDlet.

My _hacky_ solution was to split the app into several midlets and ensure 
that each zone in game was in a seperate
class. This way you could avoid huge classes, and if your app is split 
correctly, the classes for the other zones
would never be touched at the apps runtime.

If I remember correctly, the D500 would search all the classes 
referenced from the MIDlet and load/recompile each one on
on boot. Debugging of the app was done blind, so it was quite long 
process to get working.

Hope that helps.
