Answer 1

"I've tried to put in some debug code to narrow the problem down. and found out that the exception is EOutofResources on a save of a file. (the file save can happen thousands of times a day)."

I'm shooting in the dark here, but could it be that you're using the Windows API to (GetTempFileName) create a temp file and you're blowing out some file system indexes or forgetting to close a file handle?

Either way, I do agree that with your supposition about it being a file handle problem. That seems to be the most likely thing given your symptoms and diagnosis.
