Paperdroid Pro & free 1.0.5

The amount and quality of help and feedback I received after 1.0.3 is astonishing. Thanks to the relentless help of Mario C., ggrell, Micah C. and probably somebody else I forgot (sorry, it's been quite an intense day email-wise), the problems with random and semi-random force closes should be fixed. What's even better, with the new catchin' 'n' loggin' infrastructure in place, and - more importantly - these fantastic users/testers I'm so lucky to have, any similar problems in the future should be fixed much more quickly.

Thank you everybody for the incredible support!

...time to code some long-overdue new features!

On the mechanics of the net society and apparently misleading headings.

Pushed a quick 1.0.3 Paperdroid update, that seems to be able to intercept FC-causing errors and give the user a chance to send the log. I really hope it'll work this time.

Paperdroid force closing: a battle is lost, but the war continues

There's an uncaught exception that is wrecking havoc (or, less dramatically, semi-randomly causing the dreaded Force Close dialog) among many Paperdroid installations. It seems to affect some G1s as well as many Droids; unfortunately my data on the matter is scarce.
In an effort to solve the mystery, I published Paperdroid 1.0.2 - which, besides a minor bug fix, didn't have any new features but for an attempt in getting these errors properly logged.
Now, after some days in which I had unrelated events to take care of, it is clear that the attempt failed miseramente - I'm getting exactly nothing.
