in reply to open fails with no error code

When I reduce the script to a snippet the open works fine. I can't post the extire script here because it relies on a lot of other data and subsystems. Can someone just point me in the right direction or let me know if this has happened to them?

Thanks again.

    The "right direction" is always in reducing your code until the error goes away, and then adding code again, until the error reoccurs.

    In many cases, the process of properly preparing the failing script for posting here, you will find the error already.

    If you expect people to use magic or employ ESP remotely via the internet, you'll have to wait for the release of PSI::ESP I guess.

      Good point Corion. I'll widdle it down. I'm in the process of doing that but the error only seems to happen after about 10 hours of processing. Unfortunately the error seems to happen in the most intense part of the script. I reduced the intense part to about NIL and the problem wen away so it's in there somewhere. This is going to be a tedious task and I'm still working on it. I was hoping someone would say "Oh yea, I've seen this problem...". I'll get there I guess.
