I've been trying desperately to do just that, with little success.  Since
the behavior is intermittent, it's been hard to find a "smoking gun".
Actually, the difference I cited is only my best guess as to why it should
happen.

I'm basically giving up on trying to diagnose it, and am looking to use a
different setup, one which should at least exhibit different behavior, and
ideally will work more smoothly.

Thanks for the help and the concern, though.
