Webview crashes when using LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN

I have a WebView where the user can click on links and it will load these url inside this WebView. All is fine until i set the following:

myWebView.getSettings().setLayoutAlgorithm(LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);  

The reason i'm using this, as it will fit all the content on screen (which i actually just need for images).

It will kill my current activity and restarts the previous. The log looks like this:

It looks like a bug in Android, does anyone know a workaround?

Seems to be fixed since 2.2:
