There is a service pack SP6a, which is SP6 + the fix for this.  According to
MSKB, if you already have SP6 installed, obtain Q245678i.exe, which is just the
hot fix for the above problem.
By the way, Service Pack information was much easier to find on
www.windrivers.com rather than trying to search through MS's site (but then,
perhaps I don't know how to search MS's site correctly, and it's dog slow
besides).
