Comment(by erikb):

 The following works for me.  Can you try:
 1. Open record -- everything fine
 2. Go to home view
 3. Open a new record -- everything fine
 4. Return to home view
 5. Return to your first record instance -- everything fine
 6. Return to home view
 7. Return to your second record instance -- everything fine
 8. loop 4 through 7 -- everything fine

 Now, can Measure do the same?  Can you try:
 1. Open measure -- everything fine
 2. Go to home view
 3. Open a new measure -- everything fine
 4. Return to home view
 5. Return to your first measure instance -- everything fine
 6. Return to home view
 7. Return to your second measure instance -- everything fine
 8. loop 4 through 7

 Once Measure can handle multiple instances of itself, hopefully Record and
 Measure will live in harmony.

 Looking at Measure in b622, the following might be problems:
 - it doesn't immediately connect for the notify_event
 - it doesn't implement read_file and write_file, and errors are generated
 when switching what is the active activity.  this is what I see in Measure
 xo error logs.  my hypothesis is that the write_file command is failing
 before the active callback is made and then never getting to that
 callback.  When I tried implementing those calls in Measure with pass,
 then I get different errors about a directory in /tmp/myLogs/ not
 existing.
