I asked the IT department for a freshly installed 2003 server in which
to install everything from the ground up. They have promised me this
ASAP. Let's see what happens after that.
If it fails I have to insist they return my old hardware.

Another thing I have not mentioned is that the CVSMailer system also
stopped working on this machine. It works properly up to the time it
is supposed to send the email out, then it gets a socket error 10054
(Connection reset by peer) after waiting for the socket timeout.
Strangely the IssueTracker we use (Roundup) is able to send emails so
I modified the CVSMailer configuration tool to include a mail test
button where it would use all of the CVSMailer email settings to send
a test message. There was no problem here either.
So my only explanation now is that somehow the CVSNT "problem" is
contagious also into an app that has been spawned by CVSNT like
CVSMailer, which runs off the loginfo call.

The plot thickens...
