Brian,

my max paging file size is 1.5GByte.

While I was running the offending script, I was watching the current paging 
file size in the task manager.
It is rock-solid at around 590MByte and doesn't even change when the script 
barfs as I'd described in my orig. posting!

Insufficient paging file size must be ruled out.

Also tried latest snapshot.
Script barfs after running it four times - then reboot is in order.

H.
