Has anybody seen this error before? What does it mean?

One of our web scripts bails out on Winsock initialization. WSAStartup generates an error 10107. Here is what Microsoft tells you about the error:

//
// MessageId: WSASYSCALLFAILURE
//
// MessageText:
//
// A system call that should never fail has failed 8) .
//
#define WSASYSCALLFAILURE 10107L

The IIS installation is standard, nothing tricky there. The server is W2K.
