A basic Android Service that uses GPS is causing Google Nexus One to reboot

Question

I have created a very basic program to track GPS coordinates. The program has a button that turns a service on and off. The service simple installs a LocationListener. On each onLocationChanged the location coordinates are dumped on sd card.

The application works fine. But when I push the sleep button, the application logs data for sometime and then causes Google Nexus One to reboot.

Below I am posting the MINIMUM code that is required to reproduce this bug. I have striped extra code to avoid confusion.
