Check Point has a patch for it. Once we applied the patch, the problem 
went away. Do you have Check Point support? If so, call them and ask for 
fw1_HOTFIX_DAL_HF_BASE_015.tgz. It is a gateway only patch so don't 
apply it to your management server (this is a big mistake). It does 
resolve the issue below.
