I run sqlserver with cvsnt all the time (need it for my paid work...) so there's
no reason why it wouldn't work.

cvsnt doesn't go anywhere near the RPC libraries.  All it does is install a standard
service and open a TCP/IP port... there's nothing to go wrong really.

If the cvs services are disabled there's zero impact on the system, so it sounds like it's just
a coincidence.

Try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;160871

 From the KB it sounds like a timing problem... if RPC hasn't started before SQLServer then
SQLServer barfs.  It's possible that the startup time is slightly longer with the extra service
and it's triggered the problem.
