Thanks for the tip, Michael. I have captured one cycle in the log file and
tried setting the default value for that registry key to something other
than an empty string. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to generate any extra
info (I set it to "1"). An error *is* written to the log file, but it's
just "12/27/2004 3:57:04 PM cemgr Error None 1 N/A FARSIDE Process Id: 216
Thread Id: 736 Source: Message: CConnectionManager - connection failed".

I'll keep looking around for more info. Call out if you think of anything
else!
