Chris,

I had this same problem.  A temporary workaround which worked for me was 
to execute:

    Utilities cleanseOtherworldlySteppers

Clearly there is a bug which is causing the steppers list to get messed 
up since several other people have reported this same problem.  So far I 
believe that everyone who has mentioned it was running Linux (were 
you?).  Anyway, I have no idea even how to begin debugging such a thing 
so I've just resigned myself to executing the snipet above every so often.
