SVGImageView crashes on Android 5.0 and higher

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Using the following code will crash 5.0 and above with a segfault from the OS:

private FrameLayout mIdCardContainer;
private SVGImageView mIdCardBackImage;
private SVGImageView mIdCardFrontImage;

mIdCardFrontImage = new SVGImageView(getActivity());
mIdCardFrontImage.setId(R.id.img_id_card_front);
mIdCardFrontImage.setLayoutParams(new 
ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
mIdCardFrontImage.setContentDescription(getString(R.string.front_of_id_card));
mIdCardFrontImage.setRotation(ROTATION_ANGLE);


// Setup special SVGImageViews for back of card
mIdCardBackImage = new SVGImageView(getActivity());
mIdCardBackImage.setId(R.id.img_id_card_back);
mIdCardBackImage.setLayoutParams(new 
ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
mIdCardBackImage.setContentDescription(getString(R.string.back_of_id_card));
mIdCardBackImage.setRotation(ROTATION_ANGLE);
mIdCardBackImage.setVisibility(View.GONE);


SVG frontSvg = SVG.getFromString( idCard.getCardFrontData() );
SVG backSvg = SVG.getFromString( idCard.getCardBackData() );

mIdCardFrontImage.setSVG(frontSvg);
mIdCardBackImage.setSVG(backSvg);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some devices crash immediately on setting the images others fail miserably when 
the two images are flipped with an animation front -> tap -> back -> tap -> 
crash

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.2-beta-1

Please provide any additional information below.
This works fine on 4.1-4.4.2
This does not work at all on Genymotion, or on certain devices.
The crash after flipping back to the front image crashes on the Samsung S6 
running 5.0.2, but works on a nexus 5 running 5.0.
