froyo browser crashes out of the box

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. repo sync on rowboat-froyo
2. normal build for omap3evm
3. dhcp is working now, thanks!
4. browser crashes immediately on start (network is running fine via dhcp,
checked with ping, dns ok too)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
browser comes up for about 1 second then disappears

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3530 omap3evm, froyo, default build as doc on this site

Please provide any additional information below.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by `cjohnson...@gmail.com` on 10 Sep 2010 at 6:44

Start by reproducing the browser launch on the OMAP3EVM Froyo build and follow the logcat trace through GeolocationService.requestLocationUpdates with the gps provider. Done means the browser starts and remains open without the reported SIGSEGV and VM abort.
