I don't know if this is related in any way with Moshe's problem, but
I noticed that the same thing happens to GEM window handles.  When
your program likes to crash (which can happen in the development phase...),
you will have to reboot the machine to re-initialize GEM.  I tried
to remedy this by closing window handles 1 to 7 upon startup, but this
did not seem to work either (the program crashed in the close routine).
I haven't investigated further since it was not annoying enough
(and finally my program did not crash anymore :-), so maybe there is
a way to close all orphaned handles and I did not find it...
