I've had sporadic reports of this, but I've never been able to track it down. It happened once for me for about a week, then stopped and hasn't happened since. I assumed it was a race condition that was triggered by something not in my environment, but I haven't been able to figure out the common thread.

I hoped for a moment that this was the explanation, but installing gpm doesn't trigger the bug for me.
