Yes, the problem has appeared to gone away! Server has not been rebooted
or IIS restarted since my last post.... Hmmm, I wonder if it is something
weird with the old fpexedll.dll or Web Trends Cookies in the Master WWW
properties. I checked the fpexedll.dll file version - it is 4.0.2.7523 -
looks like that might be very old, circa 1999 according to the MS copyright
date on the dll.
The Web Trends Cookie dll is fairly old too, version 3.1.0.0, circa 2001.
This is part of WebTrends Professional Suite 5.5c
