Barry posted just yesterday about this issue.  He commented that another
developer has done some work on the CVS version that might have fixed this
problem.  So 2 suggestions.

1. checkout the cvs tree and see if it did (not recommended)
2. wait for 2.1.2, that release should have the necessary fixes, if they can
track down the problem.

But this is a known issue, its being worked on.
