Interesting, thanks. There is a difference along that line in my two machines. The laptop, where there is no problem, is running HEAD (not the latest, from December or so), which is perhaps the precursor to 7. The desktop, with the problem, is 6.1.2. The laptop has had HEAD for a while (well before December), but before that it was 6.X and if I recall correctly the problem was absent then too. (Maybe I don't recall correctly though.)
Another minor tweak: the desktop now has 512 meg RAM, up from 384, but the problem persists.
