R help - May 2005 - sink stack memory??

Dear R-mailers

I want to store data in a seperate file named 'XYZ'
so I uses sink function for it
i runs the loop , say 100 times, and so every of the 100 times the
function is called the result must go to the file. But after soem time
of running it says
" 
Error in sink("C:/XYZ", append = TRUE) : 
        sink stack is full
"

but i have enough memory on the disk for this result

I would be highly obliged to know the problem/mistake I am amking

thanking you

I guess you forgot to close the connection?
See the code (in connections.c) and the help page. The latter tells us
"The stack is of up to 21 connections (20 diversions)."

If you did not forget to close the connection, please send an easily 
reproducible example.
