Using NFC and bluetooth together

My latest assignment is adding NFC functionality to the device (the very same device that I had trouble with DFU on). Adding the functionality was easy enough but I'm having trouble getting both Bluetooth and NFC working together.

Running the application on a device with an NFC antenna connected and Bluetooth functionality initialised causes the device to reset as soon as it attempts to send data over BT (either on starting advertising or if advertising is disabled on attempting to send periodical data.

If I skip BT initialisation on the device NFC works just fine but is not very useful (I had it start an Android application using the sensor data, but without BT it is of no use). Also, if I run the full software (with both BT and NFC initialised) on a device without an NFC antenna it works fine (but obviously will not have NFC functionality).

Could it be a physical problem or is there some extra setup needed to get both BT and NFC working at a same time ?
