The disc you're ripping is generating errors.
I've had EAC outright crash (well, as far as I could tell) on badly scratched discs. I suppose if you let it sit long enough it would eventually get what it deemed a good rip, but I've never had the patience to wait more than an hour for a disc.
Turn down EAC's error correction (or disable it entirely for that disc) & it will work fine.
