I'm unable to reproduce your problem if I don't have any of config files we supposedly trying to read. I suspect you have some config file broken (i.e. garbage inside). Can you please send me or attach to the bug report archive with files from C:\Document and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\bazaar\2.0 directory (adjust its name to your system). The information in the bug report is enough to provide a some fix, but I'd like to understand what's going on.
