Hi Chris,
Yes, the bigest problem here is such problems are quite hard to repro. For
MS product support guys to troubleshoot on this, it will surely need to
have stable reproable environment so as to perform tests. Also, normally,
they'll peform tests on local side first, but as you know, such problems is
not likely to be reproable there.
Sincerely,
