Within Kodak's network the IT department requires us to use a PAC file as part
of our proxy settings. I believe this is how they deny and control access to
some sites. From System Preferences Network Proxies I removed this setting.
This worked around the problem the application was experiencing as well as the
same problem occurring in Version 8 of ITunes. Unfortunately the workaround 
prevents the use of Safari within Kodak's network. To workaround this I'll use
FireFox as it seems to still work. It looks like FireFox doesn't depend on the
Mac System Preference setting like Safari does. If anyone knows when a fix
might be available please let me know. Thanks.
