Description

The following Code (this is the complete project)

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow();
win.add(Ti.UI.createWebView({url:"http://google.com"}));
win.open();

Crashes on an HTC EVO V (Android 4.0.3) The same code works fine on 3.2.1 and 3.1.4. I have confirmed this in 3.2.2.GA 3.2.3.GA 3.2.4 (latest build) 3.3.0 (latest build)

I'd also note that the crash doesn't happen until the Webview is added to another View. E.g.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
   var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({url:"http://google.com"});
   win.open();
   setTimeout(function(){ win.add(webview)}, 2000);

Will crash as soon as the webview is added
