MOSS is occasionally throwing this error as soon as I log on and attempt to access any page. I have discovered a very strange workaround: if I take a fresh web.config from an empty web application and copy over the web.config of the problematic web.config, and then paste in all the special configuration changes I need, it works. However, if I save a backup of a working web.config and then revert to it when the error appears, it doesn't seem to resolve it. I have to start over from a fresh one. It almost seems to me like a corruption issue in the web.config, and it generally appears after I make a change somewhere else on the server, on at least one occasion it happened without any apparent update to the timestamp of the web.config. Furthermore, there is no corruption evident in the file, even if I diff against a fresh web.config.
