The flash isn't big enough to store them all, so PocketPC uses some of
the RAM to store most programs/data. Since the kernel doesn't know about
this, it just writes over it all.
I have no idea if it's possible to work around this - maybe having a CF
card for PocketPC would mean it could use that for storage, or maybe you
can tell the kernel to not use the PPC bits of RAM. You'd really want to
talk to either handhelds@handhelds.org mailing list, #handhelds.org IRC
channel, etc.
