YES, YES, we have the same problem. It happens with the HTTPD server too.
The strange thing is, we ran into this problem on a test machine, running
the 5.0 pull release. We thought it was solved in the 5.0 push, but we
have recently moved our WWW-server our production environment running the
push release and we see it again !! We have also recently installed a
patch for a horrible problem and suspected it might have been re-
introduced with it, but we're not sure. I am curious to know if there is
a patch.
