hello, i'm running into a very weird problem and maybe someone with a lot of windows experience can chime in.

an application i'm testing with shows it's leaking handles (according to performance monitor). i ran sysinternals handle on the service, and mutants are consistently going up at a rate of 1 every 5 or 6 seconds.

the weird part is, there is not a single reference to a mutex in the code.

the machine is running windows 2000, and the handle leak doesn't appear on another test box running XP...

any ideas? thanks.
