This is not just a problem with Lotus notes. I found this problem also
exists with Wall Data's "Rumba"

> A software update for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system
> introduced a bug that could potentially cripple Lotus Notes
> unless companies compromise network security.
>
> The bug in Windows NT Service Pack 6 prevents users from
> accessing Lotus Notes without administrator rights--the
> highest and broadest level of access typically reserved for
> network managers. Companies generally restrict user access to
> prevent security breaches or catastrophic accidental changes
> to PCs or servers.
>
> The bug puts companies that have applied the service pack
> in a bind, possibly forcing them to grant users temporary
> administrator privileges in order to use Lotus Notes.
>
> Microsoft periodically releases service packs as a way of
> adding features to Windows NT 4 or fixing bugs.
>
> The Redmond, Washington-based software maker is advising
> customers using Lotus Notes not to apply Service Pack 6
> until a fix is released later this week.
