By the way, I just did a fresh re-install and patch and the behavior is still the same, which is to say that re-installation didn't fix it. I wouldn't be as concerned except for the fact that even as little as two months ago it was working fine for me. This makes me suspicious that it is a server side problem, NOT client.
