There are about 100 people using my Android App right now and every once and while I get a crash report to the server with this stack trace:

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabaseCorruptException: database disk image is malformed

    at android.database.AbstractCursor.moveToFirst(AbstractCursor.java:248)

The result is the app crashing and all the data in the DB being lost.

One thing to note is that every time I read or write to the database I get a new SQLiteDatabase and close it as soon as I'm done. I thought this would simplify things, but perhaps that's causing the problem?

Is it possible this is just a SQLite bug?
