>Running into something really weird that almost has to be a local configuration issue. I'm working on a large application that's using an error handler that originated in Stonefield AppMaker and has been enhanced a bunch over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we made a change to the underlying ErrorLog table (widened one field so we could put some additional data into it).

1. If you have non-Microsoft antivirus, try disabling its real-time scanning component
2. Is your Errorlog table a conventional local file on conventional local storage, or something else e.g.
- Cloud-synced storage such as OneDrive or a SharePoint Online document library? If so you could try temporarily disabling sync for those files
- Is Windows 10 File History or any 3rd-party real-time/cloud backup software running?
- On a file server or NAS?
3. (you might want to try this first) Do you have another computer from which you can run your tests - to see if it's something in one particular computer or in your environment
- are you testing on a physical computer or a VM?
4. Are you actually running low on free space on *any* drive connected to your test machine? Do you have compression turned on for any drive in question - if so it's a good idea to be conservative about free space. For example, one rule of thumb for uncompressed drives is 15% free is yellow alert, 10% free is orange alert, 5% free is red alert. As a very rough rule of thumb you can double those values for compressed volumes
Update:
5. Maybe your ErrorLog table has subtle corruption (like a CHR( 0 ) in a memo or char column), or an index tag corruption
