This is odd because where we do Bundle.writeToParcel(), we are just writing the Parcel
we have with its current length. There is no way this should be able to fail like this...
unless the Bundle is changed while we are running?
Hm.
It looks like the location manager is holding on to Location objects which have a
Bundle of extras. It is that Bundle of extras that the crash is happening on.
And the bundle extras can be changed as it operates. And there are places where
the raw Location object is returned from the location manager, which means the
caller can be olding on to a Location object whose extras can be changed at any
time by other threads in the location manager.
So that seem suspicious.
This change should take care of all these places in the location manager, by
making sure to copy the location object before it goes out of the location
manager.
In addition, add some code to the activity manager to not bring down the entire
system if there is a problem trying to send one of these broadcasts. There is
no need, we can just skip the broadcast as bad.
