[c-nsp] Appletalk (don't laugh) through Cisco switch

I have a most unusual situation here :-)  We have a <large govt entity> 
specialized simulation lab on campus that is all-Macintosh.  We are not 
routing Appletalk, don't need to, they only need it inside the lab.  The 
hosts were hooked up to a 3550-EMI switch, nothing fancy.  Their 
application fails.  According to "them":

"We have researched this problem and discovered that there is a
known issue with running AppleTalk through a Managed CISCO Switch."

"The solution will be to connect all your computers to a non-cisco 
managed switch."

Anyone ever heard of this?  I drew a blank searching TAC.  I thought 
Cisco switches could do anything :-)
