Most of the information on net regarding this error code indicates
that it is related to some particular windows version and even there
are few Hot-Fixes for it, for example:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974509
Not sure, how relevant such hot-fixes are to current case, as most
information indicates that it happens during CreateProcess(), but the
current failure doesn't seem to have relation with CreateProcess().
I have tried to reproduce it on my local Windows m/c (Win-7), but
couldn't able to reproduce it. I think looking into Event Viewer logs
of that time might give some clue.
