There is a guy named Cliff who I know some people on the list have 
used.  He is said to be extremely reputable and extremely 
competent.  Maybe someone has his info - I might and will look later 
in the day when I have a bit more time.  He might have a more 
rational explanation and fix.  Certainly worth an email.
Good luck.
