Please attach a minimal version of PONTO1.kml so that others can try to reproduce the issue. BTW. I would not call it as a crash, QGIS of GDAL does not find a layer to process but it does not crash but throws an error message.

in your kml file the "name" tag contains a layer name in the form of "PONTO1.kml" while it should be "PONTO1". Maybe it is allowed but anyway ogr2ogr (and this qgis tool) expects to find a layer that has the same name as the file (without the ".kml").

• status_id was changed from Feedback to Closed
• resolution was changed from to invalid

Oh, my gosh... Sorry for taking your time. I open this file in Google Earth and change the name "PONTO1.kml" to "PONTO1" and works now. Thank you very much.
