It's a Foxpro Bug (Suprise)
The image cannot be contained in the executable ie the project - remove it frm the project and access with load image via relative pathing - the image you refer to may not be in the project - Wala - No more invalid file descriptor crap.

I had this same problem and worked it through with Tech Support
