Is iPad 2 video subsystem unstable?

I'm developing an app for iPad (using Titanium Appcelerator) that is designed to record and plays back multiple video files. At this point, I can record videos endlessly but when I to play them back, the app will crash, seemingly at random. For example: play video A, then video B, then C, then go back to A and the app crashes back to the home screen while in the middle of playback. Re-start the app and do the exact same thing, and it will be fine, and let me play another couple of videos, then crash when I go back to the list of videos. The crash logs often start with this:

I believe I've found a workaround. So far, no crashes under the same circumstances outlined in my question. The difference is that rather than creating a separate window for the video, I am putting the video player on a view, then hiding and showing it as needed. Here's some code for Titanium Appcelerator that works:

function Playback() {

    var self = this;
    this.activeMovie = null;
    this.baseView = null;

    this.create = function () {

        self.activeMovie = Ti.Media.createVideoPlayer({
            top: 0,
            left: 0,
            width: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth,
            height: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight,
            backgroundColor: '#111',
            movieControlStyle: Ti.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_EMBEDDED,
            scalingMode: Ti.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
        });

        self.baseView = Ti.UI.createView({
            top: 0,
            left: 0,
            width: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth,
            height: Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight
        });

        self.baseView.hide();

        self.doneBtn = Ti.UI.createButton({
            title: 'Done',
            color: '#fff',
            backgroundColor: 'blue',
            backgroundImage: 'none',
            bottom: '15%',
            width: 120,
            height: 40,
            font: {fontSize: 16,fontWeight: 'bold',fontFamily: 'Helvetica Neue'},
            borderRadius:5,
            borderWidth:1,
            borderColor:'#a6a6a6'
        });

        self.doneBtn.addEventListener('click', function () {
            self.hide();
        });

        self.activeMovie.addEventListener('playbackState', function (e) {
            //*** Hide the video window when done.  Comment out if you don't want to do this.
            if (e.playbackState == 0) {
                self.hide();
            }
        });

        self.baseView.add(self.activeMovie);
        self.baseView.add(self.doneBtn);

    };

    Playback.prototype.getView = function () {
        return self.baseView;
    };

    Playback.prototype.show = function (filename) {
        self.activeMovie.url = Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + '/' + filename;
        self.baseView.show();
        self.activeMovie.play();
    };

    Playback.prototype.hide = function () {
        self.baseView.hide();
        self.activeMovie.stop();
    };

    this.create();
}

To use this, do the following:

var player = new Playback();
Titanium.UI.currentWindow.add(player.getView());
player.show("mymovie.mov");

Enjoy!
