VisorPhone + hacks?

After plugging/unplugging the VisorPhone, HackMaster hacks often start behaving unpredictably and crash the Visor when enabled or disabled. Anyone else seen this?

I have had very few soft resets (2 maybe) and no hard resets in the four months or so I have had the VisorPhone.

I use X-Master which is reportedly less prone.
But it largely depends on which hacks you use, I believe. I have
SafeHack, ClockPop and McPhling enabled.

Anyone know of a good security hack or Program that works with the VisorPhone. PDADefense will not work right. I sent them a e-mail and was told they MIGHT address this problem in the future.

I would like to Lock my PDA but still receive incomming calls.

for a cheap solution:

If you lock the Visor with the native Turn Off & Lock feature, it will still allow incoming calls.
And you can map the PenStroke to activate this feature.

(Go into Prefs, Buttons, and set the option for "Pen")

Once you get into the habit of turning off the visor this way, it's even easier than reaching for the power button.
