We just compiled it.  As I said, very easy to reproduce. So, we'll let 
you know what we find tomorrow with the new code.   We have already 
looked at wireshark traces and it won't be any problem to get you level 
10 logs (if the problem still persists).  Fortunately, it's just 1 frame 
of video, so the logs won't be THAT unmanageable.

Thanks!

Andy
