Hi,

I have the same problem and reported it about a week ago to the list. To
date, I haven't seen any responses on the list.

One item of note, no one else using the server has the problem, only
myself. That leads me to think it is an issue with my local machine,
although the error itself indicates a problem on the server.

Any help appreciated.

Eric
