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,
