Thanks Hoff, You pointed me to the Right solution: Doubling all the 
pql_m* parameters did not help. But setting PQL_MPGFLQUOTA to 18000000 
(may be too high but set the same as for "user" system) did the trick.
So also Tad's suggestion was correct. It wer the pagefile-quota.


Thanks all of you for the help
