The boxes I have are all linux based VM's but if need be I can load a windows box. Here is the output of the commands you asked me to run using linux instead of windows (hopefully it tells you what you were looking for).

Let me know if you need me to load a windows box up and run the same commands.
You don't think its a bug in the build im using of 5.1 do you?
