Symptoms

Window handle leaks are seen when applications create queues with the option IsWorldReadable set to True. This only occurs with Windows NT computers. Security differences on Windows 95 and 98 do not support the creation of queues with IsWorldReadable set to True.

Cause

This occurs in GetCurrentUserSid because the Open (Thread/Process) Token call was not paired with a CloseHandle call.
