When starting a current xulrunner from the trunk with any application from a
Linux shell, the application runs, but the following messages are displayed at
the shell window:

==================*** interval = undefined
*** downloadUpdate
*** /home/manfred/download/mozilla/source/xulrunner/dist/bin/updates/0/update.status
*** no patch to download

and then in an endless loop

*** update url: null
*** update url: null
*** update url: null
*** update url: null

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start xulrunner with any application
Actual Results:  
An endless loop of messages at the shell window

Expected Results:  
Run silently ;-)
