Mantis#1726. Thank you kindly, StrawberryFride for a patch that:

On an MSSQL-based Grid OpenSim installation, users could log in to the sim once, 
then log off - after a short time before retrying users would be unable to log in, 
and would see an empty alert box on the client with just a "close" button and no text. 
Despite no users being logged into the sim, user server would report a higher number 
of logins than logouts.
