If you print -1 as an unsigned 32bit quantity you get 4294967295.
After a crash, you often see "terminated abnormally (-1)" which means
very little.

1061 is a Windows system error code:

ERROR_SERVICE_CANNOT_ACCEPT_CTRL
1061 The service cannot accept control messages at this time.

So, what you're seeing is an uninformative pair of messages saying
that the server crashed for an unknown reason and that it's not
accepting messages.

There are a raft of problems that could be causing this, from bad
hardware to memory starvation. There are instructions on the
ibphoenix web site for setting up a debugging server that will
generate a crash dump. That's probably the next step.
