Ok I tracked down the problem even further....

The software is failing on a CreateThread() API call when logged in as
"User10"
but not as "Administrator". The "User10" is part of "Administrators" group.
The CreateThread() never starts the new thread and never returns.

On our dev server all users work. It is just our production server that this
happens on. Win2k SP 3

Any IDEA??? Been driving us nuts..
