Done: 2003-07-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@xxxxxx> * app/plug-in/plug-in.c (plug_in_close): [Win32] Plug handle leak, call CloseHandle(). and in GLib: 2003-07-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@xxxxxx> * glib/gspawn-win32.c: When possible, manage without the helper process. (Part of the enhancements outlined in #98737.) Speeds up GIMP 1.3's first-time-run plug-in query phase a lot. Plug a file descriptor (and thus Win32 handle) leak: close the read end of the child error report pipe after use. Now I can start GIMP 1.3.17 from fresh and it successfullly queries all the plug-ins, quite fast even, with no handles leaked. Still need to add script support to gspawn-win32.c so that Hans's Python plug-ins work. --tml
