Description John Arthorne CLA 2005-05-11 15:38:41 EDT 
Build: I20050509-2010

My process got a GPF and exited.  When I tried to restart, an NPE occurred that
prevented startup from suceeding. Marking critical because the workspace was
unusable after that point (I had to manually delete some metadata files before
getting it to start again).

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2005-05-11 15:48:46 EDT 
I believe the fix is to just instantiate RefreshManager before AliasManager in
the workspace startup routine.

Fix released to HEAD.
