MSGS from BBWin client goes purple

Can someone help on this?

We are having some trouble with BBWin. Our linux clients are configured 
in central mode, so all the configuration is made on the server. Now we 
have to watch some Windows clients, which are configured in local mode.

The problem is with the "msgs". One specific client goes purple 
sometimes. But not the entire host, only msgs column. Procs, disk, 
memory, svcs and etc are all green, only msgs column goes purple.

My BBWin.cfg is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<configuration> 
<bbwin> 
    <setting name="bbdisplay" value="ourbbdisplay:1984" />
    ...
    <setting name="mode" value="local" /> 
    <setting name="configclass" value="win32" /> 
    ...
    <load name="msgs" value="msgs.dll"/> 
    <load name="procs" value="procs.dll"/> 
    <load name="stats" value="stats.dll"/>
    <load many others...>
    ...
</bbwin> 
<cpu> 
    ...
</cpu> 
<disk> 
    ...
</disk> 
<externals> 
    ...
</externals> 
<memory> 
    ...
</memory> 
<msgs> 
    <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" /> 
    <setting name="delay" value="30m" /> 
    <match logfile="System" type="error" alarmcolor="red" /> 
    <match logfile="System" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> 
    <match logfile="Application" type="error" alarmcolor="red" /> 
    <match logfile="Application" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> 
    <match logfile="Security" type="fail" /> 
     
    <ignore logfile="Security" eventid="537" /> 
    <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="17" /> 
 
</msgs> 
<procs> 
    ...
</procs> 
<svcs> 
     ...
</svcs> 
<uptime> 
    ...
</uptime> 
</configuration>

Is there something wrong with the configuration? How can I find out why 
is it going purple? There's no "Client data" avaliable, maybe because 
it's running in "local mode"?

Thanks.
