Of course you're correct here CGF; sorry for the noise. My home systems and
work systems that show the problem have different sets of resident 3rd-party
software, none of which seem to be on the Known Bad Apps list. I jumped to the
wrong conclusion. The depressing alternate conclusion is that there are more
Bad Apps to be added to the list. I'll see if I can figure out what those are.
Thanks,
