I have found the nasty cronjob. It's like so often: the user himself
is to blame. I have a user-cronjob running that extracts the
information of my Emacs todo-list and writes it info a file which is
in turn displayed on screen.

Idiot that I am, a wrote the script in a way that it evaluates my
complete .emacs, including (server-start). So the emacsserver never
gave up service. It was only started automatically by another Emacs
session, what, then, changed the socket and made it unavailable to the
older session.

Thanks for all the help,

Sven
