That's not evidence of a leak.  At worst, it's evidence of sloppy 
programming.

If you open a second file, and the GDI and handle object counts continue 
to climb, _that_ would be evidence of a leak.  If the handle counts stay 
roughly the same, though, all it means is that someone is caching 
handles somewhere in the system.

It would also be useful to do the same test with the current released 
version.  If it behaves the same way, it's likely that the problem, if 
any, is harmless.
