    I found a MS recommended solution to the problem at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/WSS/en/library/38857f26-6279-4019-b4d2-5d18a7a02ca51033.mspx but I still can't place my finger on what exactly caused the error at the first place and how to reproduce it (so I'd know what to avoid going forward).
