What version of Bitcoin Wallet are you using? On what Android version and
what phone? Don't just state 'most recent', this is not enough info.

motorola milestone with stock 2.1 FW - Wallet V1.33

To clear this up: Your device is out of disk storage, not out of memory.

Actually there is an alert popping up in this kind of situation. It just lets 
you continuing to use Bitcoin Wallet.

I agree there should be some "completely out of disk storage" handling. What 
behaviour would you expect?

I had this crash on the beginning without any warning - just FC. I would expect 
a AlertDialog telling me that I do not have enough memory ( ideally it would 
tell me how much I have to free up )

PS: after freeing up some storrage by moving Bitcoin Wallet to SD ( via Link2SD 
) i now get the warning.
PPS: really really hard to free so much memory on a motorola milestone ..

I suspect this will be fixed with the next major version, which will not grow 
its blockstore any more (by using a ring buffer). You can help testing a 
preview, available for download at

Marking this as fixed, since blockchain storage does not grow any more with 
version 3.
