Hi all,
This looks a lot like the sort of problems you used to get under 16
bit windows when you'd run out of GDI resources. GDI resources use 32
bit handles though and you should run out of memory long before you
run out of GDI handles. In the process explorer, you can add a column
which shows the number of handles being used by a process. It's
possible that your application is leaking references which are using
handles, although this would need to be a truly absurd number of
leaks.
A short while ago we had a vaguely similar issue with Task Coach. When
tracking effort for a task Task Coach will display two alternating
bitmaps in the system tray that switch each second (to fake a ticking
clock). We made the error to not reuse the two bitmaps but create a
new bitmap each time the bitmap was switched. This would leak enough
GDI resources to get a crash within a few hours.
Cheers, Frank
