Default [Q] Root on Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D)

Does anyone know how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D)? I had root prior to my upgrade to 2.2 Froyo but now Z4root no longer works. It will go through the motions but does not result in root access after running it.

plug in the battery again
hold the volume down button and power key and
in recovery mode select update and let it update.

Try turning off your virus scan before unziping superoneclick; on my computer it kept recognizing the rageagainstthecage file as a virus and deleting it.
