The handle is invalid at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.InternalWriteEvent

Question

We have started getting this error and really don't know why:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The handle is invalid at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.InternalWriteEvent(UInt32 eventID, UInt16 category, EventLogEntryType type, String[] strings, Byte[] rawData, String currentMachineName) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent(EventInstance instance, Byte[] data, Object[] values) at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent(EventInstance instance, Object[] values) at System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener.TraceEvent(TraceEventCache eventCache, String source, TraceEventType severity, Int32 id, String message) at System.Diagnostics.TraceSource.TraceEvent(TraceEventType eventType, Int32 id, String message) at Microsoft.Commerce.Common.Logger.InternalLog(TraceSource traceSource, TraceEventType eventType, Int32 eventId, String message) at Microsoft.Commerce.Common.LoggingExceptionHandler.HandleException(Exception exception) at Microsoft.Commerce.Common.ExceptionManager.HandleException(String policyName, Exception exception) at Microsoft.Commerce.Common.ExceptionManager.HandleException(Exception exception) at Microsoft.Commerce.Portal.UI.Catalog.WebParts.ProductQuery.OnPreRender(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
