Kik constantly restarting itself with error 'Too many binder proxy objects sent to uid 1000 from uid 10183'

Expected Behavior

Stability in the program, not crashing.

Current Behavior

The program crashes and restarts without any visible cause, some times without any interaction.

Possible Solution

Please review this logcat output:
