Is this "short while" in the middle of an active session, or have you
suspended/hibernated/rebooted/powered-down, in the meantime?

with mine.

Try a different value, such as 254, instead.

There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.

A positive attitude is worth the effort if it annoys enough people.
