Resize on orientationchange causes some phone browsers to crash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Using code similar to this:

function createDatePicker(selector){
            var scrollWidth = ($("div[id='main_content']").width())  / 4;
            var scrollHeight = scrollWidth / 2.5;
            $("#input_" + selector).scroller('destroy');
            $("#input_" + selector).scroller({
                    preset: 'date',
                    minDate: new Date(2000, 0, 1),
                    maxDate: new Date(2020, 11, 31),
                    theme: 'android',
                    display: 'inline',
                    mode: 'scroller',
                    dateOrder: 'mmddyy',
                    width: scrollWidth,
                    height: scrollHeight,
                    onChange: function (valueText, inst) {
                        var lbl = $("#lbl_" + selector);
                        var date = $("#input_" + selector).scroller('getDate');
                        lbl.text(date.toDateString());
                    }
                });
        }

function setDatePickerWidthAndHeight()
 { 
    var scrollWidth = ($("div[id='main_content']").width()) / 4;
    var scrollHeight = scrollWidth / 2.5;
    var selectorBase1 = "date_1";
    $("#input_" + selectorBase1).eq(0).scroller('option', 'width', scrollWidth);
    $("#input_" + selectorBase1).eq(0).scroller('option', 'height', scrollHeight);
 }

 $(function () {
 $(window).bind('orientationchange', function (event) {
                setTimeout(setDatePickerWidthAndHeight(),100);
            });
 }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected:
The control's width and height will be changed on orientationchange.

What happens:
After a few orientation changes the browser becomes sluggish and on some phones 
the browser will eventually crash.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 2.2.
Crashes on Android 2.1 at least.

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems to only happen if I change orientation, scroll up or down, then change 
orientation again.... If I do not scroll up or down then I can change 
orientation several times.... I did 20 w/o any problems.... but If I change 
orientation once, scroll up and/or down, change orientation... then it crashes 
the browser.

Maybe this has nothing to do with mobiscroll.

This also happens if I tap the address bar then hit the back button to back to 
the page and hide the key pad......... a page crash occurs.... does not happen 
on pages that do not have mobiscroll.

Looks like this isn't a mobiscroll issue:
