Given I wasn't able to reproduce it even trying on your machine and with
your kickstart config in the office last week, I'm not inclined to hold
up the preview release for it. That said, when you're back in town, I'd
be up for stopping by and watching to make sure you're not doing
something without thinking about it that's causing it to occur :-)
