Backup Failed (error -24988 and -903)

Question

Hello All,
MaxDb 7.6.03.03 on Windows 2003 Server (32 bit).
I've an instance that run fine since several years now, which is backed up using a simple script:
@echo off
echo ============================= >> d:maxdbscripts ackup.log
echo. | date | find "current" >> d:maxdbscripts ackup.log
echo. | time | find "current" >> d:maxdbscripts ackup.log
del f:     orpedo_com
"c:program filessdbprogramspgmdbmcli" -d torpedo -n srv-sgbd2 -u ***,*** -i D:maxdbscripts ackup_torpedo.script
xcopy f:     orpedo_com t: /y >> d:maxdbscripts ackup.log
echo. | time | find "current" >> d:maxdbscripts ackup.log
Here the backup_torpedo.script:
util_connect ****,******
backup_start complet data
util_release
Every thing work fine, until monday: the backup script failed with error code -903 and -24998:
D:maxdbscripts>backup_torpedo.bat
>util_connect ***,*****
OK
>backup_start complet data
ERR
-24988,ERR_SQL: SQL error
-903,Host file I/O error
3,Data backup failed
The database error file say that:
2009-07-29 08:53:55     0x13EC ERR 18008 TASKING  Could not create thread: 'ASYNCi', rc = 8
2009-07-29 08:53:55     0x14D4 ERR 52011 SAVE     devspace: surprising blk cnt:

2009-07-29 08:53:56     0x14D4 ERR     3 Backup   Data backup failed
I've tried to remove and recreate the backup medium, lauch the backup from dbmgui, but i still have the same error.
There is far enougth place on f: disk (83Gb, database size is 40Gb).
I've tried to move the backup medium from f: disk to d: disk, but i still have te same errors.
There is nothing related on event viewer on the server.
The online documentation don't say anything usefull about this 2 errors messages.
No changes have been made on the server nor the database, no update, nothing.
Any idea ?
TIA
Frédéric.

Yeah, problem solved !
I've moved batch scripts from this server to another one, and the backup run fine !
Look's like i ran out of shared memory, file descriptor or something like that.
Maybe this could help someone later...
