The domain.xml and server.log are attached. The associated exception is right after "Failed to register MCF in registry".
The lookup that triggers all of this is being performed by starting a Mule server within a web application.
I have now noticed that sometimes a subsequent server restart will work fine and other times startup will hang. I am trying to determine where exactly it is stuck, but I have a feeling this is related to the initial error.
