my idea about rf front-end overload is only likely if you are near rf 
transmitters of 1-10W or more. The case I had was in a mall. There could be 
anything there. If you're in the 'burbs, with the nearest likely transmitter 
being a 50mW wifi box in the neighbour's house, this scenerio is unlikely.

I tried a 900MHz rome-a-phone near the affected box and it didn't do anything
