Reverting the fix for bug 364418 is trivial.  I guess the question is whether re-introducing the deadlock is worse than introducing this failure.  

We also have the option of re-applying my fix, which didn't load the breakpoint manager in DebugPlugin.startup(), though we've already done a full day test pass on 3.7.2.  Still, I've done testing on that fix when I developed it so I would recommend going with it, even for 3.7.2.

FYI, my alternative fix is: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.debug.git/commit/?id=366ebde49ed41a56e1684ea7be65cf58cafd72ed
