1，故障现象
程序长期运行后，出现"System Error. Code: 8. 存储不足，无法处理此命令"错误。
此时检查磁盘空间是足够的。但打不开任务管理器。cmd命令行窗口都打不开。
关闭出错程序后，也无法重启。必须重启操作系统才能恢复正常。
2，错误分析
上文显示，“Delphi apps are leaking atoms, leaving the id of your app without dropping it off from memory”，Delphi7使用了RWM Atom进行消息通信，但系统无法自动释放，当16K的空间被分配完后，就会弹出该错误。
采用ATOMTableMonitor程序观察发现，RWM ATom的消耗每天约增加2000，因此很快16K的空间将耗尽，最终将导致错误。
3，解决方案

以上网站提供了释放RWM Atom资源的补丁。其中修复原理为Atom重复使用，避免不断分配新的Atom，具体说明如下：
There is a file called "RWMFixUnit.pas" that contains the hack, it replaces the call to RWM in the Controls unit and uses the GlobalAtom value (that will get cleaned up)
instead of the leaky RWM. You HAVE to add this unit before the Controls (otherwise it will complain!) and it will only work in statically linked applications.
I have simplified the implementation, so it will just reuse the global atom for the "ControlOfs" leak, all other RWM allocation will proceed as normal.
实际操作中，发现在Dephi7中编译"RWMFixUnit.pas" 文件时，出现错误
function IntrRegisterWindowMessage(lpString: PWideChar): UINT; stdcall; begin Result := 0; try if Pos(‘ControlOfs‘,lpString) = 1 then Result := GlobalFindAtom(lpString); //This is for defensive reasons... not really needed if Result = 0 then begin //if we get here we know that the GlobalAtom has not been allocated yet //so this is ***not*** the leaky ControlOfs RWM as Atom if @OrgRWMPtr <> nil then Result := OrgRWMPtr(lpString);
原因是GlobalFindAtom不接受PWideChar类型的参数。
因此，注意要修改为以下：
function IntrRegisterWindowMessage(lpString: PChar): UINT; stdcall; begin Result := 0; try if Pos(‘ControlOfs‘,lpString) = 1 then Result := GlobalFindAtom((lpString)); //This is for defensive reasons... not really needed if Result = 0 then begin //if we get here we know that the GlobalAtom has not been allocated yet //so this is ***not*** the leaky ControlOfs RWM as Atom if @OrgRWMPtr <> nil then Result := OrgRWMPtr(PWideChar(lpString));
修改后的程序，经过多日观察，RWM Atom的消耗一直保持稳定。问题得到解决。
