AXF can't be read by ArcPad v10sp4 after shutdown/startup

We recently found our ArcPad .apm's cannot open .axf files after they've been deployed to a Trimble Juno 3B mobile device, running ArcPad v10sp4, after shutting down/restarting the device.  Our .apm's have between 5-13 shapefile reference layers that are read only.  The .axf's are editable, and run fine in the desktop environment.  Our custom forms have no effect on the .axf when viewed from the desktop or mobile device, but cannot be added to or read from a .apm.  During troubleshooting efforts to identify the problem, we noticed our code, .axf's, .apm's, etc all worked great on our Trimble Juno SB, which was running ArcPad v10sp3.  Our ArcPad Field Application, associated workflow, data, and other files have performed flawlessly over the past few months via the Trimble Juno SB-ArcPad v10sp3 configuration.  If one navigates on the Juno 3b to an .axf file, it will open in ArcPad as expected, but you cannot add a .axf to a map after shutting down and restarting the unit.  

So, we performed a hard reset on the Trimble Juno 3B, and deployed ArcPad v10sp3.  This fixed the 'unreadable' .axf problem immediately on the Juno 3B.  Therefore, we're removing ArcPad v10sp4 from all our GPS devices and computer workstation, and rolling them back to ArcPad v10sp3. 

My question to those in the know is:  What's going on in ArcPad v10sp4 that won't allow reading an axf?    We have already attempted several hard resets of the Trimble Juno's, and performed complete installs of ArcPad and SQL CE cab files, as noted in this forum posting (http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/59763-Can-not-read-layers-in-axf-file-in-arcpad?highlight=arcpad+ca....)

Trimble Juno 3B Operating System:  Windows Embedded 6.5 Handheld
Trimble Juno SB Operating System:  Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic
Computer:  Windows XP Pro SP3

Thank you,
