Can also confirm that if you set a breakpoint, run a program to that point, and enter ".res", the GDI Object count only ever increases. I'm on my way to pushing it to 10,000 now, but I'm going to send this before I have to - unexpectedly - reboot my machine.

Increasing the GDI objects limit might not be without any
inconvenience. Yesterday, I increased it to 20000 on a XP64
workstation: since then, I am no longer able to connect with Terminal
Server...
The reason is likely because the entire GDI pool is globally limited
to 65536 objects, so that 10000 cannot, practically, be exceeded by
any single process.
I am afraid that this "GDI inflation" might be a singularity of the
Windows version of Eclipse: if true, leaving the 6.4 IDE for Eclipse
might have been a very bad choice for IDL on Windows!
