We're seeing a problem with Ringtone.getTitle() in 1.6. Sporadically, getTitle() will return "Unknown ringtone" instead of the proper title. It seems to be timing-dependent, and is most likely to go wrong when we ask for the title of a tone twice in rapid succession. Here's a typical log, showing a success followed very rapidly by a failure:

My question is, how can I reliably know when the Ringtone is in a state where I can safely ask it for its title ? At the moment there is no solid way for my code to know when it is unsafe to ask, or even to know when getTitle has definitely failed. Any hints about what is going on here would be very welcome.
