getLocationUpdates() giving illegal argument exception on 4.0 emulator

I saw on code.google.com that there is a bug in method getLocationUpdate() when we try the following:

requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 1000L, 500.0f, this);

it throws :

09-06 22:46:16.163: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(351): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider=network
09-06 22:46:16.163: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(351):     at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1325)
09-06 22:46:16.163: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(351):     at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1275)

09-06 22:46:16.163: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(351):     at android.location.LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:446)

Here is the link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19857

I want to know is this fixed yet.My app is crashing everytime it tries to get the location update.
