My impression was that recent Alexandre's fixes made activation work.

Hardware failure is the bug 9623, isn't it?

Photoshop on startup creates a critical section, enters it, then creates a
thread which tries to enter the same critical section. That looks like some
kind of cleanup technique performed by a thread once main functions leaves
the critical section. Since the critical section remains owned during all
the time Photoshop runs err: above is a side effect of it.

Isn't this the same problem as described in the bug 9623, i.e. the lack
of Times.TTF?
