SGS Crashes after some time of tethering.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which device (manufacturer, type)?

Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

Which firmware is installed?

Android 2.3.3 Darky's ROM

What version of wireless tether are you using?

3.0 BETA 5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn on tethering
2. Wait some time
3. The phone will crash

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

Excepted: Tethering last forever
Instead: Phone crash ;-) More details below

Please provide any additional information below.

So when I start tethering everything is working fine, but after some time, 
strange thing happen - I can see information that Wifi Tether has got SU 
permissions and then i the statu bar all the notifications about connected 
clients appear one after another, and when all notifications are shown, the 
phone crashes. It reboots when on battery, or shut down when charging.

I think that the problem is, the app start tethering again, when it's already 
started, and it causes the phone to crash.

I also found a temporary solution of this problem: Go to Superuser settings and 
disable SU permissions for WifiTether, after you started tethering. You have to 
disable only the permissions about starting tethering, you don't have to 
disable the permissions about stoping, and access control.

When you do as I described above, everything happen just like at "normal" 
crash, but in the end the phone is not crashing, just show the notifications 
and when you open the app, you see "Your phone is in unknown state, try to 
reboot", but tethering is still running!

I used this walkaround to make tethering last forever, however maybe it would 
be possible to implement it to the app, so it automaticaly remove SU permission 
of starting, and gives it back when you stop tethering.

Sounds to me like you are using a "appkiller/taskmanager" ...

Well. I did some test with official 2.3.3 on the SGS and was not able to 
reproduce that. But yeah ... will try again.

There are more crashes when you use the phone while tethering. But it isn't 
related to some special app. Crashes are totally random.
