Has never anybody had this problem before? I found some threads on similar 
topics - but not exactly for the same reasons/with entirely different 
configurations. However, I still could not get any closer to the cause of this 
type of problem. For some reason, the problem has not occured again since I 
posted to the mailinglist (however, it happend several days in a row before 
that day).
