Wow!

Well, it's not quite as dramatic here, but I can see a good few leaked 
handles in Process Explorer.

I've committed a fix, but unfortunately, when I begun testing to prepare for 
a release, I ran into all sorts of nasty problems, including being unable to 
reinstall Cygwin, having uninstalled it to test setup. I'm going to keep 
working on it though... after I've completely purged Cygwin from my 
computer, reinstalled, and set up a VM to do tests in without disrupting my 
primary machine. Might take a while.

Max.
