Re: How do you develop on the PocketPC?

I'm sorry to say that I've seen the NULL bug before but have been too 
distracted by the task at hand to fix it, but here is a patch that fixes it.

By the way, I've recently tried running the remote part of "winpdb" 
(http://www.digitalpeers.com/pythondebugger/) on Windows CE and connecting 
to it over TCP/IP from the GUI running on the PC, and after a trivial change 
(to handle a lack of PATH environment variable) it worked fine. Personally I 
would rather have the ability to communicate to the remote debugger using 
ActiveSync rather than only TCP/IP because it is more convenient especially 
since I only have Bluetooth not WiFi, so I have been investigating using the 
Remote API (RAPI).
