I have a similar problem, and have heard from several others who also have it.
My assumption was that the switch had some knowledge of the protocol (just to
be annoying) and didn't like the wheel events. My solution, which only works
because I rarely use the 2nd system, is to not route the mouse through the
switch. It's a wireless mouse, so I have one receiver for each system, each
set to a different channel, and switch the mouse between them on those
occasions when I need to use the 2nd system. If it bothered me, I'd try
switching it all from PS/2 to RS-232 to see if it flows more transparently...

Well, there's always the 'In-reply-to' headers most mailers add. That provides
some information that a mailer can use to try to build a thread tree. Not as
good as references, of course.
