AnswerMedia image shows as thumbnail

    Here's a problem that only recently started happening: When I view a JPG image in the Media tab, all I see is the same thumbnail rather than large size.  Sometimes if I wait a couple of seconds the large size appears, and sometimes I can get it to show by advancing to the next image and then going back. Sometimes I can get it to show by giving it the rebuild command.  But sometimes none of these methods works, and even if it works, advancing to the next image and then immediately going back reverts to the thumbnail again.  It doesn't happen consistently on a particular images, but randomly, maybe 1 out of 5 times I view an image.

    Sometimes (less often), instead of a small thumbnail, the image appears at full size, but pixellated as if it's enlarging the thumbnail.  Then I can fix it by one of the methods above (sometimes). 
     
    What could be going on?  Is it a resource issue?  My catalog has about 21,000 images.

    I'm using EM 2.0.2 on Leopard.
