Please try to increase a difference between SET CLIPPER and FILES variables.
Try to make it more than 5. (For instance, FILES = 60; SET CLIPPER=F50);
FILES should be more than CLIPPER. CLIPPER veriable should be more than
files your program open, because Clipper needs a couple of files for its
own needs. This is just a quick answer, so if you fail please e-mail me
directly your config, autoexec and mem /c > file results and we try
to think about.

Here are my 0.02.
