Hi,
Good news  and bad news and good news.
The good news is that I am able to reproduce this problem.
The bad news is that the compiled rpm's from the vendor do not have this 
problem, so I can't blame it on them.
The good news is that since it is our problem I can fix it.
So ... now I'm not just looking at it ... I'm working on it.
