Although I probably can't solve the problem, I recall a posting similar
to this a couple months back. Have you tried to search the mailing list
for this issue?

Also - to help clarify the problem, can you give specific details (steps
to recreate the problem) so that we have a visual of what your system
looks like / is doing when this occurs?

Regards,
Frank
