This is perfectly sensible behaviour; MSC stores it's error messages
in files named C1.ERR, C23.ERR and CL.ERR. So, to display the message
that belongs to error C1015 ("cannot open include file '%s'"), MSC
has to open the file C1.ERR, which fails because there are no more
file-handles available. This is for MSC 5.1.
