Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-09-17 15:07:09 EDT 
There is a bug in Equinox preferences that can lead to deadlock: bug 389630. This is relatively easy to workaround in the Orion code by ensuring we always flush preferences directly at the root level. Since we ship Orion 1.0 before the next Equinox release we need to insert this workaround in Orion.

I have also back-ported this fix to the 0.5 release for the Maquetta project:

I have tagged the fix in 0.5 as: v20120925-1803-bug389754
