Null pointer error on "Stop RWG"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From within adhoc mode, select "Stop RWG" menu item

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

RWG should stop and report that it stopped. However, the "unexpected stop"
message appears and "force close".  The result is that RWG is not stopped.
If POSIT is restarted, RWG is reported as running.

Addition tests suggest that the error occurs on the stopService(rwg) on line 
203 of
PositMain.

Greg confirmed this under the following steps.  
1) Start RWG
2) Exit POSIT (back key) -- generates "forced close message"
3) When POSIT restarted, it reports RWG is running.

Chris and I were unable to reproduce this error.   This were the steps I 
followed:
1.  Start RWG
2.  Exit POSIT with the back key (no error)
3.  When POSIT restarted, RWG is displayed as not running.

This seems to be working as intended but will probably need more testing.  Also,
stopping RWG from within POSIT by pressing "Stop RWG" works too.
