Than You, Graeme! You are right, the problem was in usufficient RAM size.
There was 1.5-1.8GB of RAM available for targen in my system, but pagefile
was disabled. Enabling the windows pagefile solves the problem.
Another one: there is no any error messages when there is lack of RAM.
That's all a bit strange. I would normally expect there to be an error
message or some other symptoms if there is a malloc failure (ie.
if a malloc fails and the software ignores the error, it's very
likely that there would then be a segmentation fault when it tries to
access it). I'll have to see if I can duplicate the problem.
P.S. I've cheched, the .ti2 is created last when windows pagefile is enabled.
It sounds a bit like something is going on in the operating system
that the program is not aware of (disk write cache dropping
pending buffers ?). Was there anything in the event log ?
