Jim,

The GDI issue is a Windows-only problem, but the installation
instructions mention Linux and Mac OS X. Are there other fixes in this
jar file that I might benefit from on other platforms? I could use any
relief available for my Workbench woes (I wanted to use the Workbench
yesterday and it took me 15 minutes of trying to get the Workbench
launched).

Mike

Thanks, Jim - I'm *very* glad to have that, and confirm it fixes the leak (win7 64). Now, I hope, I can begin to catch up on the last year and a half's changes!

cheers,
Greg

Mike,

I understand that this same patch file is useful for IDL 8.1 Workbench on Linux and Mac, to stem a handle leak that caused by the same underlying issue as that for the GDI object leak on Windows.
