Android App Woes

[J. Landman Gay]

There's more to it than just the script. I thought the problem was just in 
issuing the quit command but Dan can reproduce it using the Home key (and I 
bet the Recents key would do the same.)

It looks like the engine is unloading libraries in all these cases and not 
restoring them on resume. I didn't test it but front and backscripts might 
behave the same way.
