My guess: A previous change did have an impact on MS. But only if you
restart MS. So it surfaces as a problem with an upgrade but the problem
was introduced (long) before the upgrade. You just were not hit before.

So go over ALL other changes to the system. Wether they are explicit
changes you made or implicit changes made by daily, weekly or monthly
cron jobs for example.
