Small leak

[nmongeau]

Hi,

I stumbled upon a small handle leak in the base image: senders of

OSCall>>createProcess: lpApplicationName
lpszCommandLine: lpCommandLine
lpsaProcess: lpProcessAttributes
lpsaThread: lpThreadAttributes
fInheritHandles: bInheritHandles
fdwCreate: dwCreationFlags
lpvEnvironment: lpEnvironment
lpszCurDir: lpCurrentDirectory
lpsiStartInfo: lpStartupInfo
lppiProcInfo: lpProcessInformation

are supposed to close 2 handles when they are done. This is not happening in the base image.

Normand -

OK, I need a little more of a clue since I've read the MSDN doc on createProcess:.... and I don't see anything about handles that need to be released.

Here's what my doc says about the last argument to the API:

lpProcessInformation

[out] A pointer to a PROCESS_INFORMATION structure that receives identification information about the new process.

Handles in PROCESS_INFORMATION must be closed with CloseHandle when they are no longer needed.

Yep, read too fast

I will make a note of this for a future fixpack.

John,

Could you publish this separately when there is a fix made? I am sure the leak is small, but we are getting ready to install JAS on 100 node cluster and will be easily kicking off 200 simulation daily and thus the leak will could cause an issue over time.
