I agree. I've got POPstar, Organizer and Newshound as part of my !Boot
sequence so they load automatically and I'd say they're all pretty
reliable. Uptime around 10 days so far....

I'd suggest perhaps grabbing the screen when the corruption occurs, and
then turning off LTS and refreshing - which restores the screen back to
normal - and presumably passes the memory block that was previously
corrupting the screen back into wherever it came from and THEN grabbing
memory using Zap. That way I guess the data drawn on the screen may have
been transferred back to the original application.
