Switch User suddenly asks for password

XP Pro SP2.

I've got two users installed on this machine, neither has a password.
I've been able to switch users with no problem 'til now.

I just installed a new version of Symantec Protection Agent 5.1 (a
firewall that my employer provides and requires that I use if I'm going
to log into the corporate network from home) and now when I switch
users, I'm asked for a password.

If I log off and then log on with the other user, it works.

In fact, it looks like if I log off with one user, log on with the
other, log off, then log back on with the first, switch user will work
without prompting for a password.

When I re-boot, the behavior starts over again.

What might have been changed during this installation?
