I can't remember exactly but I'm sure it's when your machine has over 3Gb in it (aka 64 Bit) when the commands screw up.
However I've just looked up in my notes and even manually allocation the buffer sizes to say 256Mb makes a 64bit VFP app unstable so my recommendation is to leave it. I'll do some more digging into my notes but I remember having a horrendous time sorting this out when we just went over to 64 bit last year. It seemed to screw up network connections and force timeouts on the lan.

Mike,
It simply DOESN'T work on 64 bit. I got bitten with it earlier this year. In fact it totally screws up apps that use a lot of memory and makes them unstable.
I had to take it out of my builds here.

Subject: SYS(3050) error on Win 7, x64 (64-bit) machine
VFP9 SP2
Using the tip from Fox.wikis.com, I had this in my code:
SYS(3050, 1, MIN(536870912, VAL(SYS(3050, 1, 0)))) SYS(3050, 2, MIN(536870912, VAL(SYS(3050, 1, 0))))
The first line seems to run ok, but the 2nd line (for background memory) fails.
Ideas as to why? This hasn't been a problem with Vista and Windows 7 32-bit boxes. (To be fair, I don't know if this is failing on other 64-bit systems or just this one site.)
tia,
