Need some information about "LabVIEW 5.1 failure in dialog.c line 372" (Windows NT)

I got this error while trying to run a file archiving job on a large number of files. I noticed the memory usage was rising steadily until it finally stopped and then generated this error. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello,

That looks like a very old indication of an internal LabVIEW error.  The conditions you describe indicate it could be a memory leak - perhaps you are opening many references and not closing them somewhere in your code?  Unfortunately, if the problem is in LabVIEW, and not the programming behind your application, I don't think R&D is going to be willing to consider fixing problems found in LabVIEW 5.1 - the product is now in version 8.0.

I hope it turns out to be in your code, and that you're able to fix it by removing a memory leak somewhere!

Best Regards,
