 looks like the mtime of the /usr/share/fonts folder is in the future. olpc
 is again ahead of things. FcConfigUptoDate() is failing and xulrunner is
 calling that many times and is trying to Reinitialize -> browser slow.
 After touching this folder you can browse away just fine. That explains as
 well why we had the miracle fixes when doing 'overnight tests'.

 Why do we get timestamps in the future?
