------- Comment #2 from Loïc Minier  2006-06-13 10:57 UTC -------
This only happens since the introduction of the fork in the registry creation,
during initialization, the process forks, the child builds the registry
(probably successfully), can't write it and exits, the parent attempts to read
the registry but there's none.

It seems to me:
1. that the child should bark something when it can't write the registry:
[...]

gst.c(721):init_post: parent reading registry cache

=> everything seems fine, but isn't

2. that the parent should bark when it can't read the registry:
DEBUG (0x8052930 - 0:00:01.251714000)             GST_INIT(11769)
gst.c(721):init_post: parent reading registry cache
LOG   (0x8052930 - 0:00:01.252235000)  GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY(11769)
gstelementfactory.c(164):gst_element_factory_find: no such element factory
"playbin"

=> everything seems fine, but isn't

But this doesn't solve the original problem (GStreamer doesn't work when you
can't write any registry).

Should I revert the changes in the short term?
