Personally, my bet is the answer to this one will only come from actively
debugging the problem.  I mention this only so you get some feedback and 
to allow you to set your expectations regarding any subsequent feedback you 
might get.  But who knows.  Perhaps someone will have figured out some 
switch for you to flick to make this go away.  I'm just betting against it.
