Limit to number of items in a resource script?

I've noticed I can only place 23 items (1 icon, 22 bitmaps) in a resource script (win32). Is this a hard limit, or is there a way around this? I get an access violation error during compilation with larger numbers of items.

Is this an external .rc file or are you using a RESOURCES directive?

Sample code that illustrates the failure would help since a limit seems unlikely.

I have a *.rc file with 401 items in it, mainly BMP (20 ICO and one CUR), so I don't think that the number of items can be the problem
