subject: Weird problems with Squish

Hello, All.

I'm having a really, really weird problem with Squish and OS/2.  Squish/2
will run fine for a while, then suddenly, I'll get this:

+ 27 Dec 00:20:38 SQSH Begin, Squish/386 v1.11 (mem=-1443808K - main=00020010)
# 27 Dec 00:20:38 SQSH Scanning messages

d:\bt\out.sq\1cf9bc12.out
+ 27 Dec 00:21:05 SQSH End.  Toss=0 (0/s), sent=0 (0/s), mem=-1443924K

Here's the weird part:

-If I do this using GoldEd+/EMX at the command prompt (using a batch file),
this error occurs.

-If I use FleetStreet, which is PM (GUI) based, this doesn't happen.  I use
a REXX script to do this under FleetStreet.

-If I use Squish/386, there are no errors at all.

I am wondering if there's a problem with OS/2 running out of handles (I've
seen it before on here, I think; I know it's rare, but something is making
me think about that specific problem).

Any ideas or suggestions?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
