Thank you!  This hint has saved me a lot of troubleshooting.

I was having the same issue as David with 3 servers recently upgraded to 
7.2.  Clients (MS Windows) were complaining that they were having 
intermittent connectivity issues talking to these servers (https, imaps).

They too have fxp network interface cards, no issues with other servers 
upgraded to 7.2 with em cards.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Nigel.
