I just had Outlook 2000 crash on me, so I ran the Inbox Repair Tool.
Intead of getting the problems fixed, the tool stopped with a fatal
error. What should I do to fix the PST file?

Here is the log file:

After I did my original posting, I decided to run the Inbox Repair
Tool again. This time, the tool finished successfully. How is this
possible, given the previous error?

Might be your Outlook PST File is highly corrupted that's why SCANPST failed to fix the bug. You should move on any third party source because Inbox Repair Tool repairs header section and minor level corruptions. On the behalf of my personal experience, I would like to suggest Outlook Recovery Tool to repair PST file and fix the issue.

A PST file consists of Outlook emails, calendars, and contacts. Sometimes the file gets corrupted or deleted, and there is no option to recover it. At that time, the Outlook PST Repair Tool can help you repair or recover your corrupted or deleted emails.
