"Cannot Write to Device AUX" is generated when a fatal exit occurs and you
have the debugging kernel of Windows installed (at least, I haven't seen
it with the non-debugging kernel...).  It means that debugging information
is being dumped to COM1: but there is nothing there to receive it.

As far as I know, there's no way to get around it (check if you have the
debugging kernel installed somehow...).  If you're doing development, then
I strongly suggest connecting a terminal to COM1, 'cause you're gonna need
it for debugging!
