I replaced one bulb of 4 incandescent bulbs with a compact florescent

light bulb and everything is back to normal. If igure the reactive
load of the florescent lamp screws up the dimmer.

Are you trying to control the CFL with the dimmer (can't do that) or
is the fixture with the CFL simply on the same branch circuit as the
dimmer but not controlled by it?
