Attachment: trace dump for the multiple inits

While working on color management, I noticed that it seems like thebes is getting initialized and shut down twice on firefox startup. I've only tested it with color management on. I also seem to be getting the fork-on-startup behavior each time (as opposed to first run only), which brings the total initializations up to three.

I've attached a stack dump generated on initializations and shutdowns. I ran it through dbaron's script but some of the symbols still seem unknown (probably related to the fact that I'm running a weird debug/optimized hybrid).

I'm game to look into this issue in more detail later. As of right now I'm short on time so I just wanted to file it before I forgot about it.

turns out it's the result of me using local directory profiles (-profile foo). Vlad says it forces component registration every time. Closing as invalid.
