I'm using a tool, fwatch, and get's very detailed I/O trace from it, and it's
looks like the FIT file is sufficient. The mozregistry.dat file is not created
yet (in my environment). Is this file in use ?

But I can see that component.reg, xpi.dat and xptitemp.dat is touched under a
program start, this could cause a rc=32 situation. I don't know how this is
handled by Mozilla.

Regarding network deploy, this was a general opinion. And Mozilla would be
really easy to deploy if also the three files that is changed would be moved to
MOZILLA_HOME (and all other files that's personal to the user) . Is this
possible for you to change this behaviour ?

you said : .. WSOD does a very bad job at managing these kinds of
situations...  What do you mean? The FIT files is very manual, but very
powerful.
