This is common on SX's, from what I can tell (I believe all of them do this). I haven't had the time to really look at what's going on, though. I do know that the change occurred around 2.2.16 or 17, so it should be easy to track down (at least that's when I first noticed it...my SX doesn't get rebooted too often at all). C
