Oh, I know that the problem is the w2k host, not nsclient. I only wanted 
to expose the differences between the two versions of nsclient in 
behaviour regarding corrupted counters. It may be from interest for the 
admins, who are upgrading (and not have "found" the small changelog, 
because of the difficulties with the tsmg server).

Once? Since I'm trying to "restore" these counters (two weeks or so), I 
have rebooted the server approximately 10 to 15 times...
You say "strange"? Is it so, that when the nsclient reports "corrupted 
counters" the ms performance tool should complain about these also?

IMHO this would be very logical, but de facto it's ms...
