Resource Compiler Fatal Error RC1120
out of memory, needed number bytes
The Resource Compiler ran out of storage for items that it stores in its heap. Usually this is the result
of having too many symbols. One of the following may be a solution:
Increase the Windows swap file space. Consider using the Control Panel, System icon,
Performance tab to increase your system’s virtual memory, reboot, and retry.
Eliminate unnecessary include files, especially unneeded #defines and function prototypes.
Split the current file into two or more files and compile them separately.

and that the file is valid.

Writing to a bad sector
A sharing violation
