There was a thread not too long ago about this, but now I can't for the
life of me find it. I only glanced over the thread (I saw this problem,
too, but only once or twice), but my impression was that someone had
figured it out. I think if you just wait a bit, the fix will come down
to you.

Sorry to be unhelpful...
