java.lang.RuntimeException : Could not open input channel pair

Question

I'm testing my application with three phones (running andorid version : 4.1.2 - 4.0.4 - 2.3.6). They exchange data via Bluetooth without problems until this error appears in the logcat and the phone shutdowns completely and restarts. Before this error appears everything works perfectly.

Here is the logcat output on the phone that crashes (the one running version 4.1.2):

05-29 12:11:36.887: E/InputTransport(2947): channel '418655a8 Toast' ~ Could not create socket pair.  errno=24

I don't know how this could be triggered by my application, there is not even one line inside this error output that points to one of my classes.

Also on my S3 with android v4.1.1 I got this error and the phone rebooted after 80 min of normal activity:

And again my S3 resetted with the same error of my Samsung S plus (v 4.1.2) after correctly working for 3 hours, here is the log:
