Thanks for the info. I just got some time to run a couple of tests
(up-/downgrading TSVN) on my machine. Unfortunately, I could not
reproduce the issue.
I'll get back toit, if it ever reoccurs (and then will double check the
content of the MonitoringData.ini-file - comparing it to the daily
backup I already do for my machine (unfortunately I don't have the old
backup at the point where the issue occurred last time, so couldn't look
things up there)).

If I'm not getting back to it, let's assume it was just some TSVN
independent local temporary issue associated with something on my
machine, rather than some issue in TSVN.
