Tests prove they are not the same

Sorry to disagree but eBooks Reader has no problem on my JB iPad with ios 5. After using it I simply exit the app and everything else is fine. I continue to run other apps without problems.

When exiting BF the iPad is hung. I need to restart it - nothing else works.

I just tried a test to verify the behavior - read 20 pages from an ePub format book in ER and then exited. Ran several other apps. All worked fine. Tried the same with BF. The iPad was hung when I exited BF. All I could do was force a restart.

So if they are the same app why does one behave and the other one hang my device?

I just asked a friend to try the same test on his JB iPhone. Same results.

Forgot to mention - I do not use backgrounder since it does not work on ios5 and can hang the device. Therefore I am not able to use the suggested workaround to work around the bug in BF.
