We're able to replicate the issue where an erroneously large feed database cache file causes Preware to suck up huge amounts of memory, and this is fixed by a correct reinstall (i.e. not with fileCoaster or PreLoad or PreUpdate) of the latest Package Manager Service.
There is a new version (0.9.38) of the Package Manager Service in the alpha testing feeds now which deletes any erroneously large feed database cache files on each reboot. Once a few other people have tested that, I'll release it.
We are unable to replicate any issue that occurs without running Preware. In particular, we are unable to replicate the issue stated by some posters where there is an issue in being able to boot the phone or connect to it to reinstall the Package Manager Service. If someone can provide debug information on that so that we can determine whether it is a real problem with Preware or not, we would appreciate it. Since I cannot reproduce it, if it is a real problem then at least the next version of Package Manager Service will fix it on each reboot.
The issue where the feed update hangs is also fixed in Preware 0.9.28 (which was released before webOS 1.4 was released).
