It's good to know this worked for you... the opposite is what happened to me...

I had .16 installed and it just disapeared from my home screen one day... uninstalled it... installed .17 and got infinite reboot loops... had to reflash... installed .17.2 and so far no problems... i thought my biggest mistake was "uninstalling" the program and then "reinstalling" it while seeing it was messing up to begin with... but in your case this worked out for you... who knows why.
