Duh! Thanks! ... here we go:

Application exception occurred:
        App:  (pid=1708)
        When: 9/19/2002 @ 01:45:02.593
        Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

... the only thing I can think of that would happen at 1:45am is the 
Radio backup... but this also doesn't explain why Frontier stopped 
logging at 1:13am... I changed the interval on the backup to 20 minutes 
to see if the crash will happen at a different time.

Cheers!
