Vista patch breaks forwarding of port 445?

Yesterday I installed the latest set of Vista patches from Microsoft Update.  I also made a few other changes, like turning off User Account Control.  Immediately before this I was able to forward port 445 using "ssh -L 10.0.0.222:445:localhost:445 user@server" where 10.0.0.222 is a loopback adapter in Windows.  After installing the patches I got an error message saying port 445 could not be forwarded. So I used Windows Restore to rollback the patches and everything worked correctly again.  Looking through the patches I'd just installed I found this one addressing a SMB vulnerability:

I'm guessing it was this one that screwed up the port forwarding.  Has anyone else ran into this issue?
