Comment(by david.brownlee):

 Sorry, my initial observations were incorrect and my bug "evolved" as I
 tested.  Here is a summary:

 1.  Start with a clean install (boot with os730 and fs.zip on USB stick
 while holding the game buttons) of candidate-703 on a G1G1 XO.
 2.  Copy a PDF file to a USB stick using another computer and insert the
 USB stick in the XO.
 3.  Go to the Journal, click the USB icon at the bottom of the screen.
 4.  Click the open button on the far right of the Journal entry for the
 PDF file.

 These steps will take you to the "Home View" screen where you see the icon
 for the Read activity flashing.  Hovering the mouse over the flashing Read
 icon says "Starting...".  The Read activity never starts and the flashing
 icon eventually goes away.  If you start the Log Viewer activity, you will
 see the exception in the screenshot.
