We should be informing the child process of each new substitution here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/res/nsResProtocolHandler.cpp#310

Instead, we're only doing it during chrome registration. However, bootstrapped addons frequently register substitutions manually so that they can add/remove them at will.

We should probably not even be doing it during chrome registration since that goes through this path anyway

Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This sends a new substitution whenever registered. It has the downside that if we dynamically re-register at runtime a number of resource mappings get set and each one is sent individually. I don't know if it's worth the work to avoid that. What do you think Bill?

Can we include the code that gets the IO service and the resource:// handler in this branch? I guess it makes the function fail less frequently, but that seems fine.

Only changes in this patch is a fix for the test to make it delete the minidumps from the child process crashes so the test harness doesn't freak out.
