Description

This is a regression from 9.3.0.GA onwards. Not seen with SDK 9.2.2.GA

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the code below in your app.js:

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: 'gray' });

const rows = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  rows.push({ title: Row #${i} });
}

const tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({ data: rows });

win.add(tableView);
win.open();

2. Build for android device & let the app launch. 3. Press back button to close the app.

Actual results:

1. We see ACA crash logs showing a crash. No error is seen in the console:

2. Now from the app tray try to launch the app again. 3. The app will launch & will be stuck on the splash screen.

Expected results:

1. No crash happens when app is closed via the back button & launching the app again via app tray launches the app fine.

We're experiencing many different problems with the new TableView on Android - so many that we're going back to 9.2.2. Wish we had time to document them all but you've got a 5-alarm fire on TableView & ListView.
