Ken,

After thinking about this problem a bit more, I tested a clearb prior to the second browse opening.  This did two things:
	1. it insured that the first browse closed properly
	2. It closed the second browse and then reopened it on re-execution of the browse.

This is the workaround for the problem.  I still don't know why the problem started.
