Before SP2, I only had this problem about twice a year. Now it's consistent.
 I, too, question why Microsoft has no solution to this. It's really getting
frustrating. I shouldn't have to put a number, symbol, or character before a
site's name just to keep the buttons in order, nor should I have to rack up
hundreds of links just to override the error.
