I have found that if I set "Advanced Task Killer" so that it does not auto start and if I don't kill the GPS applications that things go OK...
Just as a follow up, I removed "Advanced Task Killer" all together and have had no more problems (at least for the last week)... GPS works great! I have not noticed a huge impact on battery life... but I am usually close to a charger so I am probably not a good gauge for this.

The GPS location on google maps with satellite view is one of my favorite bells and whistles.
