Ken -

I did experience this one day while working on a development box.  It was 
indeed a very odd thing that had no rhyme or reason.  I bounced the service on 
my local machine and it has been working fine ever since.  We have not had this 
issue on the production box, and I hope we never do :).

Sorry I cannot be more help here, but I can confirm that it is not just you.
