[dev] conf.php not getting loaded

This is probably a side-effect of the registry call. prefs.php is  
loaded during the pushApp() call, i.e. when loading an applications.  
This same method is also importing the conf.php file.
But with executing $registry->call(), you push (implicitly) another  
application on the application stack, while the current application is  
still not completely loaded. My guess is that the registry is choking  
on this behavior.
