Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. Since it is only a problem on the one
machine, it likely indicates that there is some bad state on that machine.
It would be somewhat interesting to know if the problematic behavior
persists after a reboot or not, but I don't know if anyone will be able to
get out to that machine and investigate soon. If it continues to be a
problem, we can have the machine be reinstalled, which should bring it
back to a known state (barring hardware failure).
