Stack trace log

When executing Platform.startup(config) the platform enters in an infinite loop.
The stacktrace looks like (see the attachment for more):

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.Activator.start() of bundle org.eclipse.equinox.registry.

and more and more...

This was caused by an invocation to Locale.setDefault(Locale.ROOT) in my context listener.

This happens at least with BIRT 2.1.x, 2.2.x, and 2.3.x
