Immediately above that you should have the real error
message, "Invalid file index %d (count=%d)".
It might help to know what those numbers are as well as any
preceding error messages.
From the almost nothing you have provided this looks like a
communications problem.
PS. Why do people send only the last error message instead
of the the first when it is the first that starts the
cascade effect?
