Cranking the delay up to 600ms _appears_ to have worked in my case.  The 
interesting thing is that this problem did not exist in FC1 nor in 
RH7.3.  I can't remember for certain about RH7.2 but I know that first 
it was, then it wasn't and now it is.
There are several things about FC2 that make me damn glad I still have 
FC1 intact on another drive. Time will tell...
