After dp's changes today, Mac apprunner is crashing on startup, with an infinite recursion in the auto registration code: Calling chain using A6/R1 links Back chain ISA Caller 00000000 PPC 17B65A40 04762180 PPC 17B645E8 main+00090 047620A0 PPC 17B657D0 NS_SetupRegistry_1+00014 04762060 PPC 17B64D7C NS_SetupRegistry+0002C 04762020 PPC 16AC1B04 nsComponentManager::RegisterComponent(const nsID&, const char*, const char*, const char*, int, int)+0002C 04761FD0 PPC 16AD410C NS_GetGlobalComponentManager(nsIComponentManager**)+ 0002C 04761F90 PPC 16AC7BB4 NS_InitXPCOM(nsIServiceManager**)+000F0 04761F20 PPC 16AD00F0 nsComponentManagerImpl::Init()+0019C 04761ED0 PPC 16AD35BC nsComponentManagerImpl::AutoRegister(nsIComponentManager::RegistrationTime, const char*)+0022C 04761C40 PPC 16AD3744 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInPathList(const char*)+00094 04761BF0 PPC 16AD3880 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInDir(const char*)+000AC 04761790 PPC 16AD3E10 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInFile(const char*)+004D0 04761640 PPC 16AD406C nsComponentManagerImpl::SelfRegisterDll(nsDll*)+ 0015C 047611E0 PPC 15961EF8 NSRegisterSelf+000D4 04761160 PPC 16AC6D4C nsServiceManagerImpl::GetService(const nsID&, const nsID&, nsISupports**, nsIShutdownListener*)+00118 047610D0 PPC 16AC1880 nsComponentManager::CreateInstance(const nsID&, nsISupports*, const nsID&, void**)+00024 04761080 PPC 16AD410C NS_GetGlobalComponentManager(nsIComponentManager**)+ 0002C 04761040 PPC 16AC7BB4 NS_InitXPCOM(nsIServiceManager**)+000F0 04760FD0 PPC 16AD00F0 nsComponentManagerImpl::Init()+0019C 04760F80 PPC 16AD35BC nsComponentManagerImpl::AutoRegister(nsIComponentManager::RegistrationTime, const char*)+0022C 04760CF0 PPC 16AD3744 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInPathList(const char*)+00094 04760CA0 PPC 16AD3880 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInDir(const char*)+000AC 04760840 PPC 16AD3E10 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInFile(const char*)+004D0 047606F0 PPC 16AD406C nsComponentManagerImpl::SelfRegisterDll(nsDll*)+ 0015C 04760290 PPC 15961EF8 NSRegisterSelf+000D4 04760210 PPC 16AC6D4C nsServiceManagerImpl::GetService(const nsID&, const nsID&, nsISupports**, nsIShutdownListener*)+00118 04760180 PPC 16AC1880 nsComponentManager::CreateInstance(const nsID&, nsISupports*, const nsID&, void**)+00024 04760130 PPC 16AD410C NS_GetGlobalComponentManager(nsIComponentManager**)+ 0002C 047600F0 PPC 16AC7BB4 NS_InitXPCOM(nsIServiceManager**)+000F0 04760080 PPC 16AD00F0 nsComponentManagerImpl::Init()+0019C 04760030 PPC 16AD35BC nsComponentManagerImpl::AutoRegister(nsIComponentManager::RegistrationTime, const char*)+0022C 0475FDA0 PPC 16AD3744 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInPathList(const char*)+00094 0475FD50 PPC 16AD3880 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInDir(const char*)+000AC 0475F8F0 PPC 16AD3E10 nsComponentManagerImpl::SyncComponentsInFile(const char*)+004D0 0475F7A0 PPC 16AD406C nsComponentManagerImpl::SelfRegisterDll(nsDll*)+ 0015C 0475F340 PPC 15961EF8 NSRegisterSelf+000D4 etc.

P1. Why the hell was this not tested on Mac before it was checked in????????

Thanks to simon fraser for helping me fix this. Fix checked in. Infinite recursion stopped by moving autoregistraton to be triggered by app rather than by the xpcom->Init() function.

The crash is certainly fixed.

marking verified based on Simon's review.
