[omniORB] Handle count leak in Windows NT/2K

[Bruce Visscher]

Hello,

I have a bug in a server that seems to leak "handles" when runs on Windows 2K on omniORB 2.8.0.

I can reproduce the behavior by running eg3_impl.  If I modify eg3_clt.cc to repeat this code:

    CORBA::Object_var obj = getObjectReference(orb);
    hello(obj);

repeatedly in a loop then Performance Monitor shows the handle count for the eg3_impl process growing at a fairly rapid rate.  The
memory usage also is increasing.  I have tested this on Windows 2000 and Windows 2K.  I haven't yet tried omniORB 3.0.x.

By doing the resolve repeatedly we see the (original) server running in different threads (the number of threads fluxuates slightly
but remains small and bounded).  Without this: i.e., by reusing the same object reference and invoking the same method repeatedly,
we don't see a leak.

I have never seen this behaviour before nor do I see a problem when I do this on OpenVMS.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this?  Is there any hope that omniORB 3 addresses this?  Is this a valid test?

Bruce
