run on WinXP and get (OS 996)Overlapped I/O event warnings filling errorlog

hej
I'm running Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) configured (Win32) on windows XP pro. I'll be switching to Linux soon enough but for the time being I'm getting this warning repeated so often that my error log consumes nearly the entire space of my hard drive. Here is just a preview:

[Mon May 22 19:15:55 2006] [warn] (OS 996)Overlapped I/O event is not in a signaled state. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
[Mon May 22 19:15:55 2006] [warn] (OS 996)Overlapped I/O event is not in a signaled state. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

[Mon May 22 19:19:16 2006] [warn] (OS 996)Overlapped I/O event is not in a signaled state. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
[Mon May 22 19:19:16 2006] [warn] (OS 996)Overlapped I/O event is not in a signaled state. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
......

I did notice that this warning came just before it began:

[Mon May 22 19:15:55 2006] [warn] (OS 87)The parameter is incorrect. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

As stated I'm new to this whole web server thing and I don't even know where to begin with figuring out how to resolve this. (tried Googling message but didn't get anywhere) Maybe there is just some setting to keep this message from printing in my error log? cause it doesn't seem to be actually breaking anything. I'm not even sure how to recreate it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This shorter error message search [google.com] turns up a couple of posts from apachefriends that show one solution.

Thanks for the link.
It didn't really provide me with a suitable solution (reinstall OS) but it did provide me with the patience to continue searching.

here is what I found:
[httpd.apache.org...]

& possibly a better description of the issue and solution here:
[mydigitallife.info...]

Though I'm still a little unsure of whats causing the issue, so I may never be able to confirm if any of this solved my problem.
