Ha. I was being so clever using pretty menu panels to display vote results that I didn't remember to only display it to those who already voted - so when the panel showed up, the vote menu died, and the plugin viewed that as "no response" from all the other clients.
I've confirmed this does not happen if you use sm_cvote_showstatus of anything but 1.
Will have a new version soon. Thanks for the report.
