I'm using the palantir jar to import a csv and export a pdb. Until a few days ago, all was well. The database I have now seems to be ignored by palantir, which happily exits as if there's no database on the PDA... because there's not. I send with bluetooth, it asks if I want to accept, I say yes, and it disappears. I expected something with creator EmPC to exist. If I send the file named something other than foo.pdb (well, anything.pdb) I get an "unknown type" error, so it's clearly capable of giving me an error.

I'm still experimenting, but it's reproducible on another device.

Ah, neat. When I use the web browser to fetch it online, it works. Same file. WTF?

Hrm... Bluetooth sync problem, then. Does it work via BT for other pdbs?

Ok. So, this is interesting. It's a size problem... sort of

The database is here, 1.2mb. When I download it from the web browser it's now too large. The device has 11mb free. Turns out if I push a small database to it, it works, via bluetooth as well as via a web "sync". So, why would a 1.2mb database be "too large" for 11mb?
