It was not the framework that was different it was the OS, so to me it seems like it was a "bug" in the JIT compiler is PPC OS 2003 that was fixed in PPC OS 2005.
Just very odd behaviour.

>>The code was written for the full framework, but another developer needs to use the class in the compact framework. In the real code the try block has more content than the code I posted, but it was the line I posted that was the offender. The fix is to declare the variable and things work just fine in the compact framework.
