Obviously the windows (which is what I meant - I _am_ using the native Android browser) stay open as they should in most scenarios - it's usually when the memory starts to get low and the OS starts killing tasks that this becomes a problem.
There are a few similar experiences listed in this thread: http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/23356-multitasking.html The problem seems to be that Android is killing the task to free up memory even though it was in use until 10 seconds ago, and doesn't bother to save the state so that it can restore it when the app is restarted... As a reference, I have around 30-40MB of free memory when this starts happening - so it's not likely to be caused by too much stuff running in the background.
