Thanks. I was afraid that would be the answer, but that's what I get for life on the edge. At least it's the weekend and I'll have time to work on it.

Sorry -- must have missed your reply. I did find a post on the Microsoft Windows Mobile blog that talked about PagePool a bit in the comments, but the Microsoft guy repeatedly fell back on "it doesn't matter because it's not user-configurable".
What I've found over the last week is that generally bigger is better for running more or larger (executable) programs. This might seem odd since there's less memory available, but the PagePool which is used for loading program bits, isn't reported in the Memory applet. It's there, and being used for program runtime, but isn't available for program runtime storage (malloc).
Anyway, there's obviously going to be a point of diminishing returns. I find that I typically have about 2 or 3 MB free when using a PagePool of 14, and I tend to run a lot of stuff: two or three big today plugins, QuickMenu, POutlook and Egress all the time, and then while driving MortPlayer (for listening to audiobooks, podcasts and sometimes music), and sometimes a mapping app, which will be one of Google Maps, Live Search, or TomTom, depending on what I'm doing.
Occasionally I'll even run one or two more apps, but usually the above is about my limit.
With the stock WM5 ROM, I was able to do all of the above, but when I switched to Helmi_c's, I started having trouble. As I said, initially I used a smalmler PagePool, and when I flashed the last time, I decided to tryt a higher value (mostly because of reading between the lines in that MSFT blog post).
Hope this helps someone else.
Now to the phone ring debug loop. I'll post back with results if I get it figured out.
Thanks again, gguruusa! You've been *super* helpful!
Edit: I was actually using a PagePool of 14, not 16. And still no fix for the no-ring problem... Working on it...
