That's not good...  Nothing to do with your application, looks like
potentially a partitioning problem on that device, bad hardware, or
something else like that.  It's definitely nothing your non-root
application did wrong though.

I did a search for this message on google and found a number of other
people mentioning it, but didn't find any real explination of what it was,
or what specifically was causing it in those instances.
