Blackberry Intellisynch error 0x80040fb3 with Outlook Notes

While trying to synchronize my Blackberry today, I got the following error:

Error Encountered.  Error code - 0x80040fb3.  Check documentation.

This occurred synchronizing the Outlook Notes to the Blackberry MemoPad.

Long story short, performing a hard reset of  the device by removing the battery then running the sync again fixed the problem.

My guess is that the device had run low on available memory, and that's what the real cause was.  Guess I won't know unless it happens again and I think to check the free memory before pulling the battery.

Long story long would involve talking about clearing the data for the MemoPad from the device by going into Backup and Restore, Advanced from the Desktop Manager, then changing the settings on the synch to only write from Outlook to the device (rather than bi-directional), looking at the log file under synchronization configuration and wondering why it just stopped part way after starting the "Updates To First System:" phase.  But, that would take too much typing and reading effort.
