Bridge Messages Error/Long Waiting

So this only happens occassionally now but the basic issue is this: I try to open the Bridge Messages and I get the dialog window saying "Connecting to your Blackberry Smartphone" with the cancel button. Except this doesn't go away and I can hit cancel all I want but it won't go away. Only a hard reboot of the Playbook seems the way out of this. This is terrible. Anyone else have the same issue?

I had the same problem one time so far. I turned off the bluetooth on my phone and the message disappeared on the PB. I then turned on the bluetooth on my phone and the bridge apps worked properly.
