I got info that at least one of those users runs CyanogenMod.

This is not going through my code, so I have a hard time following. What can cause this thing?

UPDATE: The users that get this crash, have it consistently. Most other users never have it. I guess it's some device \ ROM behavior...

    Same here, however, I can reproduce it on my Nexus 4. For me it happens when i call a Native method (e.g. through NDK) inside a AsyncTask. When I move the call outside the AsyncTask it doesn't crash... Still haven't found the exact details, and why it is device related – Entreco Oct 24 '13 at 13:13

I ran in these exceptions too and could only reproduce them on Cyanogen. They didn't appear exactly each time I 'wanted' them to appear, but when they did, it was on Cyanogen. Also, my app had serval threads that load data. The threads were created simultaneous and when the cache of my app was cleared, the threads must access the network, instead of loading files - which means, the app never crashed when accessing the network, but while loading the files.

So I think it's an issue on Cyanogen, not Android itself. And it seems to me that the real issue here is the work load.
