Hello.

Can anyone please help me with the following.
My program has a problem which is:

Exception EOSError in module SEVILLA.exe at 0000DDE.
A call to an OS function failed.

The problem happens only when I have an other program started (in my
case the mail program "the Bat", and it only happens when there have
been problems with "the Bat", another user reports it while he has Black
Ice Defender or MS Outlook running.) When these are not running
everything is going fine.

Debugging learns that the program crashes during calls to the "clear"
method of a "TComboBox" type component. The more often I try, the sooner
the program crashes (It always crashes at startup, on initializing the
Comboboxes, but I use many of them and the oftener I run it, the less
number of TCombobox.clear calls seem to go right). This looks like a
memory leak. Windows (Win98) shows more than enough free physical and
virtual memory, but other programs can in some situations not be
started, due to a lack of memory.

What could possibly happen here, what can be a possible cause of
problems only in combination with other software??

Thanks for any reaction.
JP.
