           Summary: WPKG uncleanly exits if event log writing fails
           Product: WPKG
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wpkg.js
        AssignedTo: r.meier@wpkg.org
        ReportedBy: r.meier@wpkg.org
         QAContact: wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org


As reported on the list by Brian May WPKG in some circumstances fails to
complete in case logging to event log throws an error. It is not yet fully
clarified which circumstances this are (might be multiple possible reasons).
One reason is that the event log is simply full. By default the event log is
set to 512kB maximum size. Unfortunately it is also not set to auto-overwrite
as necessary but to overwrite entries older than 7 days.
When executing WPKG with the /debug switch quite a lot of entries are written
in one step (~100kB per execution on my system). As a result the log might be
full before 7 days have been past. If the log is full Windows seems to refuse
new entries with an exception.

To work around or cleanly handle this error case an error-detection should be
implemented.

I will have a look at this issue.
