One thing is fairly certain: if you get this problem, you won't be able to clear it effectively by just restarting Freda; it will need a soft-reset.
Please keep me posted though, particularly if you find a series of actions that repeatedly makes this problem appear. And I'd be interested to hear if these problems are affecting other devices.
Thanks,

Soft-resetting the device doesn't clear it. CleanRAM reports about 28MB free. The only thing that seems to clear it is emptying the bookshelf.

My other Axim does not appear to have the problem. (Though I haven't tested it as much.) It has a different ROM version, so that would tend to implicate the ROM on the first device.

Ordinarily I wouldn't care very much. But it's time for reading the Nebula nominees, so I've been trying to line them up on the bookshelf to make it easier to keep track of them.
