Well, I've got some real bad news for you. The rc=4319 from
ReadFile was not expected (not documented either) so it was
getting no retries at all --zero. When I made that check, and
increased the time for retries to 3.4 seconds (may not have
needed all that), the read works fine, as expected, even after
a suspend/resume.

So, on this iPAQ 2215, your theory is ... hogwash (just kidding,
hogs don't need washing). ReadFile does work after a suspend.
No sky falling. But, thanks anyway. Whodathough rc=4319 from
ReadFile?

If you're wondering, I did this three times, loading a 14 MB
file. After a second or so I suspend (after it's started
loading). After a few more seconds (10-20) I resume. Read
continues. Play continues. I haven't checked to see how
many retries it takes, but I think this is simply the SD
card not yet ready, which I first mentioned.
