Chart does not display when Toolbar=False

I have a basic bar chart that runs fine on a local 32 bit server both within an IFRAME and within the reports manager. However, on another server that is brand new and clean install of SQL Server 2005 (64 bit) that same chart will run fine within reports manager but not through a direct link (whether in an IFRAME or not).

I narrowed the problem down to the parameter Toolbar=False. If I leave off that parameter, the report runs fine but includes the header. If I set the parameter to True, it also displays fine with a direct link. I can also specify Parameters=False and that works fine. However, no matter what I try, setting Toolbar=False returns a report (showing text in textboxes) but the chart itself returns as an image placeholder with the little red x.

Obviously, I do not want the user to see the toolbar within the application. I tried looking at the logs and event viewer for clues and found nothing.

Can someone please help?

Well it appears I have run across a bug: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=921405

Why would Microsoft not release this hotfix without having to call them if it is a known problem when not in anonymous mode and should have been included in the latest hotfix post-SP1 rollup release?

Does anyone know where I might can simply get this hotfix?
