Subject:Dropped MIDI notes?

Anyone having this happen? I have a drum track playing back through rewire to Acid and some notes just aren't playing, consistently. Soloing the track brings them back. Leave solo and they're gone again.
(I don't mean to pepper the forum with stuff, but I'm doing that thing where you try a project in a new app to see how it's working. Today I've entered the Bug Zone.)

What are you ReWiring to ACID?

Are you playing back looped on the ACID timeline?

Reason; the same thing happens whether looped or not. But there are sections that have been copied, if that's a factor. And, as I said, when the track is soloed the notes sound.
Thanks.

More details. (I am unable to repro this.)

What version of Reason?

Reason is a HUGE app. What specifically are you using in Reason or does it happen with all of Reason's synths?

Can you give me a simple repro?

Complex MIDI patterns in ACID?
Simple note on every beat for X measures?

3.04 (latest version)
Two combinators.
A pretty simple drum pattern: kick, snare, hihat.
Two sets of input channels: Left and right and the stereo pair of 3 and 4 (which, unfortunately I can find no way to get back into Acid other than as two busses... am I missing something?)
I've tried it on both my machines: same result.
It only happens when both midi tracks -- one feeding the combinator that is dropping notes, returning on the L/R bus, and on feeding a combinator playing piano and returning through the busses supporting the Reason channels 3 and 4 -- are on. Soloing the offending track or muting the other has the same effect: the notes all play.
Putting a line mixer into Reason and combining all the audio output into just the L/R bus has no effect on the situation.

I believe this has been fixed for the update.

Can you email me the simple acd project that exposed this problem?

Of course; the reason file as well. To what address?
