Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service

  I have an application which reads files from the host (main frame) and write to a file on to disk (windows 2003 server).
  I used both WriteFile and _lwrite to write to the file and I get a error message 1450: "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." The writing process happens in small chunks of data and WriteFile\_lwrite fails when the application has already written 1GB data to the file.
  The drive has more than 9 GB free space and the file system is NTFS.
  
  Here are the call details of the failing functions
  
  void _lwrite(HFile hFile, LPCSTR lpBuffer, UINT cbWrite);
  
  lpBuffer size                              : 0x3fc
  cbWrite                                     : 0x3fc
  File pointer set at                     : 0x5953715C (1.39 GB)
  return value from _lwrite          : 0xffffffff
  GetLastError return value         : 0x5aa (1450)
  
  BOOL WriteFile(HANDLE hFile, LPCVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite, LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten,LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped);
  
  lpBuffer size                             : 0x3fd
  nNumberOfBytesToWrite          : 0x3fc
  lpNumberOfBytesWritten          : 0x0
  lpOverlapped                            : NULL
  File pointer set at                     : 0x5EB822BE (1.48 GB)
  return value from WriteFile       : 0
  GetLastError return value        : 0x5aa (1450)
  
  
  The system do not use \3 GB boot.ini switch and the PagedPoolSize value is 0x0 (default system value) and Paging File Size for the drive is 2000 MB as Initial and Maximum Size.
