Merge agent start failure

Hello All -
I have a problem with push merge subscription. The publisher/distributer
reside on same host with several clients connecting for merge replication.
The startup of one of the merge agents fails. The error message "Login
failed for user 'dbApp'. Reason: not associated with a trusted SQL server
connection. Error 18452".
I am able to connect to the client via QueryAnalyer using the 'dbApp' login.
I've done A/B checking with the security info for the bad client with a good
client and can not see any diffs.
I don't know what has happened. This client machine did work several weeks
ago. I suspect maybe some software installation munged the settings
somewhere but am at a loss as to where to check for this.
Any clues?
Thanks,
bruce
can you check the SQL error log for any information?
I have encountered intermittent memory problems of the form - could not
reserve contiguous memory blocks around the time I experienced these errors.
