Back to basics.

The error message says you have insufficient *virtual* memory. What
does the Error Messages and Recovery Procedures book (or indeed
equivalently HELP /MESSAGE) say wrt INSVIRMEM ? (Hint: sapienzaf has
an answer).

Increasing the working set will increase the program's available
*physical* memory, but it will not directly increase the virtual
memory available to the program. Perhaps monitoring WSEXT and seeing
it hit its limit at around the same time as WSEXT = WSAUTHEXT is only
indirectly related to the underlying problem causing the INSVIRMEM? Do
you have the source? What is returning INSVIRMEM?
