Reproducible error when loading many reports (Load report failed -> Not enough memory for operation)

Environment:

Win 7 SP 1

Visual Studio Pro 2012 Update 4

Crystal Reports for Visual Studios Service Pack 10 (13.0.10.1385)

Report created in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (11.5.8.826)

Targeting x86 .NET 4.0

Scenario:

We have a program that runs and creates a large number of reports before the process is ended. When running after many hours we'd get a Load report failed/Not enough memory of operation exception. I kept removing code and found i could reproduce just using the report.Load call. I simplified the report to a completely blank report to make sure it was nothing specific to a report I was loading. (Opened Crystal Reports XI Release 2, Save As, "Blank.rpt".). I then created, loaded, and disposed of this report in a loop. I was able to cause the same exception after 32,764 iterations on my machine. I also tried using .NET 3.5 same result. I added a counter to our main program and it also went through 32,764 report loads before the same exception was thrown. Main program uses 15 or so different reports with a variable number of subreports in each.

Sample Code to illustrate the problem:

I did this as a WinForms project since our main program is using winforms.
