So, if it is related to the config, this leads me to believe that it has 
to do with using values that are read from the config instead of 
whatever you use for defaults, (because changing the app/vendor names 
would essentially mean you are starting without a config the time that 
works.)  If that doesn't help you track it down further then try making 
a sample app that does nothing but use a config object similar to how 
you are doing it in your app, and see if that duplicates the problem.
