BLODA confirmed. The problem was caused by PC Tools Spyware Doctor version 5.5.0.204. Specifically, the service "PC Tools Security Service" "C:\Program Files\Spyware Doctor\pctsSvc.exe" is the service that caused the problem. It "Provides spyware and malware protection for the system. If this service is disabled spyware protection will be disabled." Disabling that is sufficient (in my case).
Thanks for the assistance - it is much appreciated. Howard, thanks for the feedback about OpenLDAP / MinGW. I shall start looking at it as soon as possible.

For example, Embassy Trusted Security has been known to cause this type of problem. I also see you have Sonic Solutions burning software installed...
