add_handle and malloc

The add_handle in "debug.cc" code still malloc's entries once the
free list is exhausted, which doesn't work very well on fork now
that the entries are (otherwise) in cygheap. I've attached a
patch that gets rid of the malloc, so once the free list is
exhausted, new handles simply aren't added to the list.
Isn't it always the way: you write a test program for one thing
and you find something else entirely. My real problem is that
something's leaking handles, so now it's back to that original
issue.
Cheers,
