This looks like the same bug as #37280. What kind of machine are you seeing this behavior on?
Compaq Deskpro Pentium Pro 200MHz with a Matrox Millenium PCI Video card, 128MB RAM, Adaptec AIC7x00 (2940U) PCI host adaptor, Western Digital 6.4GB hard drive, IBM 4x CDRom, Python 4mm DAT DDS-DC SCSI tape. I can be more specific if need be.
Ok, bug #37280 was seen on a Compaq Deskpro as well, so I'm resolving this bug as a dupe of bug 37280 since it arrived first. If you could continue to respond to bug 37280, it would help us to consolidate these reports in one place. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37280 ***
