Android: crash on drawPicture() call?
<p>I have an application which displays a series of custom views in a LinearLayout.  The LinearLayout is in a ScrollView.  The custom views draw a picture, when their onDraw method is called.  Generally this works fine.  But occasionally the application crashes on a drawPicture() call.  When it crashes, no exception seems to be thrown, but I do get this message in logcat: "Wrote stack trace to 'data/anr/traces.txt'".</p>

<p>The contents of traces.txt is below:</p>
