DTS Import not working after SP3a upgrade

I have a DTS package that is importing a fixed length file.
After installing SP3a (on PERSONAL & DEVELOPER edition) it will not
allow me to assign more than 125 fixed length column positions.
After hitting the Finish & OK button it just wipes out the column
settings.

I've reinstalled both Personal & Developer edition. DTS will allow
more than 125 prior to the service pack.You may be seeing a side effect of installing SP3 and the problem seen by
others after aplying this SP is here. There is a fix
