程序包管理器已死，DeadObjectException

我们仅在一种设备类型上使用我们的应用，并且经常在此设备上出现此错误。

PackageManager的唯一实例是BootupReceiver：

public class RestartHelper extends BroadcastReceiver
{
     @Override
     public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          Logger.getInstance().Log("Restart received");

          Intent i = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage( context.getPackageName() );
          i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
          context.startActivity(i);
     }
}

例外：

这个错误与硬件/系统有关吗？
