[MonoTouch] Too weird for words

[Dean Cleaver]

I didn't believe it, but I have seen a video of it as proof...

I have some code that sends a TCP-IP message. It pops a UIAlertView with no buttons and an activity indicator to show that something is happening. 99% of the time, it's gone in 1 to 5 seconds, but sometimes it takes longer - a lot longer.

What's on the video is apparently reproducible, although to produce a sample will be night on impossible - but if it takes ages (like 1 or more minutes) they just drop the phone onto the desk (from about 6" to 12" high) and magically it hides the indicator and the app carries on perfectly. Every time they do it regardless of waiting 30 seconds or 3 minutes, it *ALWAYS* works the instant they drop it.

I have no code that uses the accelerometers etc. Most bizarre thing I have ever seen, but apparently the guys can reproduce it in the field on demand. Although usually after about 2am.

How would you even start to debug that one?
