That's not the case. I've had long-running programs that would wait several minutes between invocations, and they also suffer from this. As I explain in the bug report, even creating a Process and failing to call Dispose will not cause a problem by itself. Yes, there may be more Process handles in the table at once, but the garbage collector is pretty quick at cleaning them up, and the most I've seen in the table this way is maybe twenty, a far cry from the table's limit of 4096. No, the handle leak problem happens regardless of how the C# program chooses to treat its resources. Disposing of the Process object will clean up most handles instantly, but regardless of whether you call Dispose, some handles will be leaked. And if your program runs for a long time, it will eventually hang the Mono process. --Brian _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
