Default 03 Accord V6 rotten egg smell

I've got a new 2003 Accord V6 with about 1000 miles on it. Love the car and my wife's 2002 Ody. We're both converts from VW and haven't looked back.

The Accord is about a month old. About a week ago I started smelling sulphur (rotton eggs) once a day or so both during the drive and after stepping out of the car, but today was awful! I stepped out of the car and couldn't believe the stench.

Typically, this is a catalytic converter or O2 sensor issue, but I've searched usenet and the web and don't see anything really related to late model Hondas, other than one thread on an Odyssey.

I haven't got it nailed but it seems worse after punching it a bit. Since it's new I've only done this once today and once a few days ago, so I'm not absolutely sure that it worse after a quick run.

Anybody else noticed similar problems? I'm guessing a trip to Honda will yield a "that's normal" response but ....
