What does ERR_STRING_RESIZE_ERROR (4008) mean on the MetaTrader 5 API?

"Not enough memory for the relocation of string" is MetaQuotes' whole description of this code. It is an MQL5 runtime error code, returned by GetLastError().

Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
