I agree with that, there should be a messagebox popping up saying that the
event log is full. What happens now if the event log is full is: The service
just hangs in the services panel, displaying "starting service" for ever. No
clue whatsoever what's the problem. Because we recently changed a detail in
the implementation of the startup procedure of our service, we of course
thought it is a problem with our code. Since it is not possible to actually
debug the start of a service, we had a hard time finding out what the actual
problem was... luckily it was only on a test system, otherwise the whole
company would have been down for 1/2 day!!
