This error is almost always the result of breakage within the TCP/IP
stack - the connection is accepted, but something has broken the
socket inheritence so the child process ends up with an invalid
handle.  There's no way of catching such errors (since they aren't
errors in the traditional sense... they're bugs in whatever broke the
stack). 

AV an 'Personal' firewalls are the usual suspects.  Of course there
may be other types of programs that do this (AOL used to do it but
that was years ago... no idea what they use now).

As it's not a CVSNT problem all I can really do is point people at the
Faq and try to find out what the problem software is, so I can suggest
workarounds.
