poll function don't release all windows handle / possible memory leak

[Thomas Stalder]

Hello,

I have found that poll function don't release all windows handle (with
network socket) and generate memory leak.

I have made a simple application to reproduce the problem (server.c).

I compile the application :
$ gcc server.c -o serverleak
$ gcc -Dnoleak server.c -o servernoleak

--------------------------------
How to reproduce the problem

1) I execute the application :

$ ./serverleak

2) I execute the windows taskmanager and I add the column "Handle"
(see http://www.netsolux.ch/cyg/1.gif)

3) I execute on windows "telnet 127.0.0.1 8082" and I press a key on
the terminal

after I see the number of handles (see
http://www.netsolux.ch/cyg/2.gif). I have 137

4) I execute on windows "telnet 127.0.0.1 8082" and I press a key on
the terminal

after I see the number of handles (see
http://www.netsolux.ch/cyg/3.gif). I have 138

5) I execute on windows "telnet 127.0.0.1 8082" and I press a key on
the terminal

after I see the number of handles (see
http://www.netsolux.ch/cyg/4.gif). I have 139

---------------------------

After each call of poll function, I have 1 handle not released.

This problem don't occurr with servernoleak.

Regards,

Thomas
