Description

Any external links (links not set in the config.xml whitelist and with target="_blank") will open a new browser window (as expected) but will crash the app.

It seems specific to this build number and the OS/Webview. Another 2.3.6 phone does not do this.

Logcat Error:

I can provide an apk file to reproduce the issue, if need be.
