I am getting the same error with one of my users.  It seems to be only
this user who has problems, and it worked previously for them.  As far
as the why question is concerned, because sometimes when you have a
large GAL (ours is probably 35,000+) you may have to type nearly an
entire name in before you even get close.  Sometimes it's better to
have a smaller list which you can search.
