Details

moz fails to load when %windir%\mozilla\ is not writable.  on w95, build
2000082915 is the last build that did ~not~ exhibit this behavior.  last
reproduced with 20000909.

to reproduce,

0.  make %windir%\mozilla\ not writable, by. for instance, creating a zero byte
SHR file in %windir%.
1.  fire up moz.
2.  app winks out, no crash or error message during startup.

to rectify:
ensure %windir%\mozilla either does not exist or is a writable dir prior to
starting moz.

 keep app files in the appdir!
