function look_at(sequence path_name, sequence entry)
	sequence input_file

	input_file = path_name & "\\" & entry[1]
 	printf(fn_out, "%s", {input_file})
 	printf(fn_out, "%s", {"\n"})
 	fn = open(input_file, "r")
 	if fn = -1 then
 		puts(1, "Couldn't open file\n")
 		abort(1)
 		end if
 	return 0 --  0 to keep going
	end function

You never close the files, so eventually, you run into the open file limit.
Add a "close(fn)" before the "return 0" and it should work correctly.
