This also happened for me with the 0.x versions of WPKG and a full Event Log.
Although AFAIR, I think WPKG was "hanging" then, not crashing.

It was relatively easy to trigger - just start copy/xcopy/robocopy/rsync which
outputs to STDOUT, and everything was logged in the Event Log. With more files
copied, Event Log was full any you wondered what's going on...


Side note: as I remember, some more applications were malfunctioning with Event
Log full (it wasn't WPKG's fault this time, but something spamming the Event
Log with information related to
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B896358&x=11&y=10 ):

- it was not possible to uninstall some applications any more (i.e., Microsoft
Office) - manually, from Control Panel
- VNC server didn't allow to log in any more
- there were some windows indicating a problem with (I don't remember)... click
to send to Microsoft... etc.

So, a full Event Log can be a dangerous thing ;)
