The problem is that SCM calls the service and when it considers
it "dead" it won't monitor further requests so when the code reaches
the point at which it calls the Win32::Daemon "startservice" the SCM
just doesn't respond and this probably causes ASSP to stop

And yes, in my experience it's related to disk/CPU activity; see,
when ASSP starts up it begins by loading some base modules,
allocating memory and then loading the config and checking for
the availability (and load) the other modules; this may take quite
some time so, in case the operations are slowed down, the time
needed to reach the "startservice" call exceeds the "grace time"
used by the SCM and causes the issue

A possible solution to the issue (since Fritz doesn't seem to like
the idea of moving the service/daemon code inside a separate
stub module) would be wrapping the service code inside a sub
which will get called early during the startup phase; such a sub
should then check if ASSP is running as a service and, if so,
proceed calling the "startservice" and return a true/false result
at that point ASSP will either go on with the regular startup stuff
or bomb out

As for the 64 bits, I don't think that may cause such "trouble"
at least not judging from the message returned when trying
to startup the service and in any case that may be solved by
instructing the OS to run the ASSP (and Perl) in 32bits mode

just my 2 cents
