Attachment: diff of bad/good profiles

diff -ruN 76w1nz83.test 10j2k4ri.test2

Differences of the profile directory contents.
76w1nz83.test == bad. 10j2k4ri.test2 == good.
In bad one, compreg.dat does not contain entries for
the file [e-mail]\components\qfaservices.dll.

Resolving as WFM since no patch was landed for this bug. This was most likely
fixed by bug 304115.
