AutoKill Bug: User's can create infinite kill loop (FIXED v1.1)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up the AutoKill plug-in to kill Locale in the Default situation.

RESULTS
As soon as the situation is saved, the AutoKill plug-in will kill Locale. If the user tries to re-open Locale, the AutoKill plug-in will terminate Locale again. The only solution is to either remove the AutoKill Plug-in or to uninstall and re-install Locale to clear its configuration.

This problem has been corrected in version 1.1 of the AutoKill Plug-in. Please use the Android Market application to retrieve the update.

Thanks
