After adding a whole I don't know much about the problem, other than I've experienced it myself too. I was however able to reduce down the gcc testsuite a great deal into a self-contained testcase that executes one test over and over, so I thought I would include it here in case anyone else wants to play with this. Extract the attached file and then run "runtest -a --tool gcc" in the handle_leak directory. It will run a simple compile test over and over. Watch the handle count of the expect process (using e.g. process explorer) balloon without limit. Brian
