[interfacekit] Re: Fun with the registrar

At the risk of having a conversation entirely with myself, a bit more 
investigation has revealed that when obos_registrar is running, 
execution stalls in BTestShell::LoadSuitesFrom() on the call to 
load_add_on().  I tried running UnitTester in bdb up until just after 
the test add-ons had been loaded and then started obos_registrar.  The 
tests now run, but fail at BApplication::QuitRequestedTest1 with the 
message

FATAL: be_roster is not valid. Is the registrar running?

So even though I've managed to jimmy the add-ons into loading and I've 
got the registrar running, BApplication can't seem to find it.

Slightly related question: did you guys do your development and/or 
testing on Dano like that naughty Axel character, rather than R5? ;)

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the 
argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
