Thanks all for your replies. You've all been very helpful. Turns out there were TWO problems which were directly related:
The regulator was indeed broke. I replaced the regulator, which subsequently allowed the beer to flow at the CORRECT rate. However, it STILL poured 100% foam. I decided to use a hand pump on the keg and see what would happen. Guess what, still 100% foam.
Replaced the keg, and now everything works fine.
The theory that my beer distibutor came up with was.... The regulator was broken, causing WAAYYY to much pressure to be forced into the keg. The keg was only about 1/4 full. The extreme pressure forced into the keg caused it to foam inside, and since it was under this pressure for so long.... the foam untimately would not settle. Replacing the keg was the only option.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
