[Assp-test] Running 2.0 under Win32

[Scott M. <as...@ho...>]

I'm attempting to run 2.0.0 (13.02) on Windows Server 2003 under 
ActiveState 5.8.9 (825).

I have a few problems. First, if I configure it to run as a service 
(AsAService:=1) and run it as a Windows service, it starts, but it:

- does not write to the maillog.txt file
- does not write to the assp.cfg file
- in the configuration web, no images or CSS are loaded, and it is unusable

Running it from the command line solves this problem. This same PC, 
running the same service with same permissions, works correctly 
running v1 ASSP.

If I change it and run it from the command line, it works correctly 
for about two-five minutes, correctly processing mail. However, the 
worker threads start to die off one by one, with this error:

[Worker_x] Error: IO-subsystem error - unable to poll handles on OS

When this error occurs, the thread in question never recovers or restarts.

Gradually, as each thread dies, the system comes to a stop, refusing 
any further connections. The main thread is unable to transfer to any 
worker, and it loops like this, over and over, until it is manually 
stopped and restarted:
