dictionary full message

Hi !

I've been working in an IRAF script which takes a long time to be
executed (tipically three days or more). It consist on a multi loop of
different parameters which makes use of some IRAF tasks, like lucy in
STSDAS and fitpsf in DIGIPHOTX.  It also deals with a lot of system
calls as:

print("!program.exe " // par1 // " "// par2) | cl()

where program.exe is the name of a C compiled executable, and par1 and
par2 are parameters given by the script. Well, all seems to work
properly until a message like this appears:

INTERNAL ERROR on line 116: dictionary full

This happens when the script has been running for an hour or more... Any
idea? I have looked for some mistakes, but I have no ideas. Can you help
me?

Thanks in advance,
