20050607 build, around 10:00 hours Pacific time. Launch of TBird uses huge
amount of CPU while reporting this error to the command line:

*** Checker.onError: error during load
*** update url: chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties
*** Checker.findUpdates: sending request to
chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties
*** Checker.onError: error during load
*** update url: chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties
*** Checker.findUpdates: sending request to
chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties
*** Checker.onError: error during load
*** update url: chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties
*** Checker.findUpdates: sending request to
chrome://mozapps/locale/update/update.properties

TBird is usable while this happens, but is doing great damage to the rest of the
system due to 100% CPU use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch TBird from shell
2. Watch in horror as CPU spikes and errors are repeated over and over

Behavior is gone. I suspect Ben Goodger's checkin:

fixed it.
