[Mono-dev] [Mono-gc-list] Mono memory problems!

[David Wolinsky]

In fact, I was able to fix the problem.

For some reason in WaitHandle.cs, the line...
safe_wait_handle = new SafeWaitHandle (value, false);
should be...
safe_wait_handle = new SafeWaitHandle (value, true);
(at least it makes sense according to other docs I read)...

second... in SafeWaitHandle.cs, the line ...
            NativeEventCalls.CloseEvent_internal (DangerousGetHandle());
should be...
            NativeEventCalls.CloseEvent_internal (handle);

The second one is kind of silly because Release gets called only after 
refcount == 0, but calling DangerousGetHandle throws an exception if 
refcount == 0.

I think there is still a problem of the array of wapi handles not being 
shrunk down, but that complexity is beyond me.

Regards,
David
