Android emulator reboots if I try to fix the gps coordinates

Question

I've created a virtual device with the 2.3 platform (api level 9) and I just launched it and tried to fix GPS location via telnet, as follows:

telnet localhost 5554
geo fix 41.41 174.64

The emulator returns an "OK" message as the output of my command, and I am simply trying to see if the Google Maps/Latitude app will be able to see these coordinates as my location, but when I load them they will simply reboot the emulator (actually the OS does not come back, I have to close the emulator and launch it again).

Am I doing anything wrong or is there a bug in the emulator?

Answer 1

This is a bug in the emulator. The issue tracker entry has some more information.
