This is really strange. The phenomenon is described in multiple places,
discussed, but there is NEVER a definitive answer. Thanks for speculating
though ;-)
CALL TO DEVS: WHAT IS THIS? The FAQ on the forum links to a thread that
discusses this, but it all ends in NOWHERE, no answer to what's really
happening, and certainly no workaround (if it is a bug, and not a feature).
