Not sure why it would be in the same place though.
Another possibility could be a sticking shutter.
Maybe if the problems is coming from data downloading in real time via the cable, it may be better to record the images on memory card incamera - well this is what I will be doing , it's easy to download the images later .

Just a thought , I have a 40D too , mine hasn't been turned on the stars yet.
