Bug: showing the dialog can crash the app

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

I got this exception :

It's a bit rare, but it happens.

Actually now that I look at it, it seems like a crash on Android OS itself, right?

Someone has created an Android bug report for this here:

So... Why does it occur? Any way to handle it correctly?

[sampalmer]

I don't know, sorry. It's only happened a few times for me during development, and only for one user in Production.
