[... snip ...]

Either you've encountered a Bad Apple (sorry), or something else is wrong.

This probably doesn't help, but I do recall something about a bug around  
this, but I can't remember the specifics. I'd still do a bit of a security  
check to make sure no-one's sitting between and injecting stuff, but it  
seems about right. The thing I'm referring to was 'Corrupted MAC on  
input', and Google seems to have some hits.

Sorry if that doesn't help.
