This is not a crash due to phone calls per se. It's due to the app getting taken out of memory as other apps come in. One solution might be to set ourself up as a high priority app that is always running that can be controlled through the notification list. This is a lot of work because we'd need to allow people to kill the app there and handle other cases I'm not aware of. It also might tie us to a certain api level.

Closing. We're handling this as a new release.
