Best you can do would really be to bisect the problem.
Unfortunately only you (or someone else with an affected system)
can do that. Once the culprit is known it would be much easier
to get it fixed.

To answer your earlier question: I don't think you did anything wrong.
I guess everyone else is just as clueless as I am (if not, speak up
and help ;-).
