Description
I have been running BOINC 6.6.28 for a while, and 6.6.36 for a few hours and have noticed that after a random amount of time (hours, rather than minutes) the HTTP settings I enter in the Options dialog get corrupted. The IP address field gets the value same as the Username field, and the Port becomes 3 (3 does not figure in any of the other field on this page of the dialog). This results in BOINC being unable to communicate with the servers, and the settings need to be re-entered manually. I am using a corporate proxy/firewall that requires authentication, and has several possible IP addresses.

Replying to romw:
Which platform are you running on?
Sorry, that was very poor bug raising on my part (FWIW, I was in a hurry):
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad? x61s laptop, 1.6GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD. OS: Windows XP SP3, with Administrator privileges (don't ask, it's a company laptop).
If you need more info, please let me know.
