I did understand your message so that it _does_ appear with an
unpatched FW. My question was whether it is the patched FW from the
sc plugin that changes things.

That I don't know, and I don't intend to try the sc plugin to
find out ;-)

Needless to say that I don't have this problem here, so I couldn't even
do any serious debugging, since I can't reproduce the problem.
I'm afraid you'll need to isolate the difference between the two
modes yourself.
