EXC_BAD_ACCESS on resume/wake on iOS device

I have implemented a websocket connection (using socket.io) within my app which it uses to communicate with the server. On locking and waking the device, it disconnects and reconnects correctly, but on leaving the device locked for 1 minute or longer when unlocking, the application will crash sometimes instantly, or sometimes after reconnecting with the server.

If I do the same, but run my app within mobile Safari, it does not crash, leading me to believe this is an issue with Phonegap/Cordova.

On app crash, within Xcode I get within WebThread - WebCore::ThreadTImers::sharedTimerFiredInternal() an EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1) error

Hopefully someone will have an idea as to what could be causing this, or recommend some tests for me to run etc because I'm really clueless on how to proceed with fixing this!

Many Thanks,
Ross
