Finally the good news has come!… by way of Google.

Further research using our favorite search engine led to a forum where 
I found out about the availability of the latest firmware for the 
Linksys Router (BEFSR41) at version 1.46.02
Upgrading the firmware solved the problem.

It's the first thing that I suspected, but soon overlooked because the 
initial search at VersionTracker didn't turn up the latest firmware.  
Moreover, during the subsequent chat support sessions with Linksys 
never had a mention of the firmware.
Oh well.
