Out of String Space in Visual Basic 6

We are getting an error in a VB6 application that sends data back and forth over TCP sockets. We get a runtime error "out of string space". Has anyone seen this or have any thoughts on why this would happen? It seems like we are hitting some VB6 threshhold so any other thoughts would be helpful as well.

Assuming that you are appending data in a loop, ensure that it's not being appended to itself, which will eat memory extremely quickly.
