Upload does not work when Shoutbox enabled

I installed the dev version of shoutbox on a perfectly running 6.1 site
and all of sudden the upload module would not load any files

My feeling is that the shoutbox js code interferes with the upload code

A way around this is to disable the shoutbox when editing or adding a node
which can be done from the block configuration

in
admin/build/block/configure/shoutbox/0

checked the
"show on every page except the listed pages"
option
and in the box below I added these
----------------
node/add/*
node/*/edit
----------------
