Before:
handles 7812
threads 409
processes 38

After:
handles 7801
threads 405
processes 38

Nope, that's not it. Here's what I did:

~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ps
       PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     17496       1   17496      17496  con 1006 15:22:51 /usr/bin/rxvt
     17776   17496   17776      16932    0 1006 15:22:52 /usr/bin/bash
     17552   17776   17552      29668    0 1006 16:31:05 /usr/bin/ps
~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ./configure
...normal output...
~/go/nngs-1.1.15> ps
       PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     17496       1   17496      17496  con 1006 15:22:51 /usr/bin/rxvt
     17776   17496   17776      16932    0 1006 15:22:52 /usr/bin/bash
     42088   17776   42088      42068    0 1006 16:33:14 /usr/bin/ps

For some reason, lower PIDs just don't get reused it seems.  In process 
explorer and windows task manager nothing changes, except that the PIDs 
keep going up and up.

Can you tell me what the 'Thread's are that show up as handles for rxvt? 
  Are those forked subprocesses or what?  THree of the four you see in 
the output stay constant, but the high one keeps spawnig off higher and 
higher process IDs.  on the process explorer I see another one flicker 
into existence:
** It has the same Handle (0xE8) as the one that's there, and one's 
highlighted red, the other green (old and new, I assume).  The green one 
nearly always has a higher PID than the lower one.  The handles change 
even when I just move the mouse in and out of the rxvt.

Any idea which forums could help with this?

Does anyone else on the list see this kind of behavior?

Thanks,
Nils.
