SpringBoard no longer responds and requires respring

iPhone/iPod Touch model: 3GS
Firmware Version: 3.01
Brief description of the problem:

Often when I have used Kirikae to switch between apps, and an app has been 
running for a while, 
spring board stops responding (e.g. either to a press of the home button, or to 
selection in 
Kirakae). 

A respring fixes the problem.

Not sure whether Kirikae is the precise cause, but this never happened before I 
installed Kirikae.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start an app on backgrounder white-list
2. switch apps a few times with Kirikae
3. Wait a while - spring board stops responding eventually

Please provide any additional information below.

I have not had any other reports of this problem, nor have I experienced it 
myself.
Unfortunately, without any further details I'm afraid that there's nothing that 
I can do.

Does it happen only with specific applications?

If you happen to track down the issue (whether related to Kirikae or not), 
please let
me know.

happens to me too. not sure how i could pinpoint it for you.. but i have had it 
so
that when im in an application, and i call kirikae to change, and then the
application i was in no longer responds. i have to exit to the home screen, and 
then
it seems to work (i haven;t tried respringing unless necessary.) ill certainly 
try to
document this better next time it happens to me, and let you know how it 
happens.

looks like what's happening, is kirikae is thinking that my last application 
(IM+) is
springboard. if i switch to anything else, it will switch to it, but when i hit
springboard, it goes back to IM+.

I have had the same issue before and after I started using Kirikae. I believe 
that
this is an issue with backgrounder. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be any 
rhyme
or reason to which apps can be afflicted. Also, the issue only rarely manifests 
itself.

As justin.creveling wrote, whenever you press the home key or try to use 
Kirikae to
switch to the SpringBoard, instead of going to SpringBoard, you go to the 
misbehaving
app.

Fortunately, with Kirikae installed, a re-spring is unnecessary. Simply use 
Kirikae
to switch back to the mis-behaving app. Then, you should be able to resume 
normal
operation.
