No :-( But I find it hard to believe that a hardware failure would lead 
to this precise error repeatedly. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

ON a related note, we need more Windows boxes on the buildfarm - ideally 
living in a data center somewhere so we can automate builds, rather than 
relying on my laptop and Jim's Windows box which seems to build 
intermittently.
