The EventLogWebEventProvider provider failed to log an event with the error code 0x80070057

Question

I am writing WebEvent in my asp.net Application and it is working fine in both my development and production region.However, When I analyze Event Logs in production server for past couple of months.I see below event

 The following exception was thrown by the web event provider 'EventLogProvider' in   the application '/(MyApplicationName)' (in an application lifetime a maximum of one exception will be logged per provider instance):

System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): The EventLogWebEventProvider provider failed to log an event with the error code 0x80070057.

at System.Web.Management.EventLogWebEventProvider.ProcessEvent(WebBaseEvent eventRaised)

at System.Web.Management.WebBaseEvent.RaiseInternal(WebBaseEvent eventRaised, ArrayList firingRuleInfos, Int32 index0, Int32 index1)

Although Occurrence is very low, still I am curious to understand why this is happening.I tried to do some research and found below link http://forums.iis.net/t/1201176.aspx?IIS+Keep+hanging

According to this link, I may be passing some invalid argument while writing event log. But I double checked my EventLog.WriteEntry method and I am using it in my application only in couple of places and moreover, I am passing static string message. If argument is invalid then it should occur every time I try to write event.

Can anyone please help me understanding possible cause for this event.is there any known issue when working with EvenLog?
