Unable to read local eventlog

Hi everyone, On the Windows 2000 Event Viewer for Application log, it show this error message numerious times; Here
Event Type:Error
Event Source:SQLAgent$AHL2
Event Category:Alert Engine
Event ID:318
Date:2/4/2005
Time:5:56:23 AM
User:N/A
Computer:AHLSQL2
Description:
Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The data area passed to a system call is too small). Has anyone experience this, know what cause the error and how to fix it? Any idea will be greatly appreciated! Paulus (moved from Analysis dw forum)
The SQLSERVERAGENT error Event id: 318 is a result of an unhandled exception raised by another
application that runs on the same computer as SQL Server. SQL Server Agent reads the
application event log to respond to SQL Server events defined in the SQL Server Agent alert.
You can ignore the SQL Server Agent error Event id: 318. The error occurs because of another application failure that is running on the same computer where SQL Server is running. To prevent the error, troubleshoot and resolve the application error that is raised by the other application.
