Here is how "where" works:

At startup: 
  * The last known location is queried from the gps provider. If known, it is sent to the user.
  * The program starts tracking the location from the network and from the gps. Each time the location gets improved, it is sent to the user.

Following advices from the sdk, a location is considered better if:
  * it is provided by the gps rather than the network
  * it is significantly newer (more than 2 minutes since last estimate)
  * the accuracy of the location is better than the one of the previous estimate.

Most probably, the gps was not able to provide a last known position (because 
you turned off your phone since last time you used the gps). And for unknown 
reason (maybe you do not allow being located by the network), the network is 
not able to provide quickly a position update.

Since the OP did not comment and since I was not able to reproduce the crash, I 
suppose the issue is invalid. Please re-open another issue otherwise.
