Hmm.  I wasn't able to reproduce it with this on my desktop machine, but
maybe it's because it's slow as hell.  I plugged my notebook however and
I was able to.

Additionally, I can confirm that the problem doesn't manifest with your
latest patch.  I'm running several instances just to be sure.

Thanks,
