Based on Eclipse bug reports, this is likely caused by having an Firefox 
instance running when the SWT Browser control is created. This problem should 
be fixed in recent Eclipse builds.

Since the SWT Browser is only used when presenting the data collection 
agreement and survey, I've created a branch (no-usage) that doesn't use any of 
the data collection features.
