OutOfMemoryError on Android

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Name of affected component: Mobile Tracking

Name of related library, if applicable (e.g. Android, iOS, Snippets, etc.): 
Android

Issue summary:

There appears to be an OutOfMemoryError being thrown from the Analytics 
dispatcher.  It seems to be isolated to specific devices (LG Revolution in our 
case).  Stacktrace follows:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
    at org.apache.http.util.ByteArrayBuffer.(ByteArrayBuffer.java:53)
    at org.apache.http.impl.io.AbstractSessionInputBuffer.init(AbstractSessionInputBuffer.java:82)

    at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123)
    at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:60)

Steps to reproduce issue:
We use the library exactly as described in the documentation.  This error is 
generated from within the Google Analytics Android library.

Expected output:
A successful dispatch.

Actual results:
The stacktrace above.

Notes:

According to this thread:

It's related to the device allocating too large a default buffer from 
HttpConnectionParams, apparently on an HTC Thunderbolt (and the LG Revolution 
for us), it allocates 2MB rather than the standard 8K.  However, the buffer 
size can be specified explicitly rather than using the device default.

There is a fix outlined in this StackOverflow question:

Actually, it isn't. I'm using the latest (1.4.2) and just got this report:

This happened on a HTC Desire (2.2).
