I'm confused, Mel...why are you leaving the file open?  If your app crashes
then, as I understand it, the file may be damaged.

Maybe, though, your new data is larger than the old data that was stored in
the res handle and is overwriting something else.  Are you sure that your
memory block is large enough hold your new data?

Regards.
