Addition of kmllayer blocks out the map

When using the Google Maps API, I am having troubles adding the KML Layer.

Using the following javascript, the map renders fine.

  function initialize() {
    var mapOptions = {
      zoom: 8,
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(49.754,-115.834),
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
        mapOptions);

    //var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://forestcrowne.ca/earth/dave.kml');
    //ctaLayer.setMap(map);
    }

    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

When I uncomment the ctaLayer, the map disappears (yesterday it would render the kml file, but the map still disappeared). What is happening?

Take a look:

    To call out a specific version (or v=3)
