## Environment :
Otoro phone, build 2012-09-27 us
Taken from default.xml in b2g-distro: 
* "platform_build" revision= 795261940c8b11fb7dddd7a8e9dd8561fdc4fb64
* "gaia" revision= c2af81f97538b34dcd5fe1a2b4a4f1313a41c3b6

## Repro :
1. select camera app
2. in the lower corner select the gallery icon
3. in the lower corner of the gallery, select the camera icon
4. repeat 2/3 multiple times (7 or 8 times)

## Expected :
1. neither app crashes

## Actual :
1. camera app crashes and you are left in a grey screen state. http://cl.ly/image/401V0I3T0J0w you have to reboot the phone by long tap and rebooting in order to see other apps.  can't long tap home button to bring up task manager.

I will diagnose this one, I am able to pause and resume the camera a lot so not sure this is a problem with cameracontrol api, and guessing its either how I deal with pause / resume during activities, or just activities

I can crash on the bug still, it took a lot longer.  It may be the timing of the launch of gallery/camera during the time it's trying to load the app.  ie as soon as you launch one and see the button press to get to the other.

Hey Kan-ru, mike said this may be related to stuff you are looking at, if it isnt then you can bounce it back to him

I'm getting a different result, the crasher is gallery not camera. Maybe it was killed due to OOM? I have hundreds of photos on the sdcard.

I can make the gallery or the camera app crash. The worst thing about this is that it renders the phone unusable and displays a broken card switcher:
