[Mono-dev] CreateProcess: error creating process handle

[Jake1305]

Hi there,

Recently I've been developing an application in C# and I am using Mono to
run it on Linux, I'm specifically testing on Debian 6.

After a 2-8 hours the application keeps showing a warning, which
is CreateProcess: error creating process handle. This warning has been
posted on this mailing list before, specifically
http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Mono-CreateProcess-error-td1525870.html and
in several other places I believe.

My application creates at least 10 processes per minute which run for under
a second/half a second normally and I also called process.WaitForExit() and
process.Dispose() to try help circumvent the error as suggested in other
emails and as I've seen on Google, but unfortunately it has not helped.

I was wondering if anybody has any potential solutions, It happens on both
2.10.2 and 2.10.6.

I saw this test case here:

http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-bugs/2009-September/092261.html

System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = new System.Diagnostics.Process[4096];

for (int i = 0; i < 4096; i++)
{
 Console.WriteLine("Starting: " + i.ToString());
 processes[i] = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
 processes[i].StartInfo.FileName ="echo";
 processes[i].StartInfo.Arguments = "\"hello mono \";";
 processes[i].Start();

System.GC.Collect();
System.GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
}


Sorry for re-asking this question but I have not found a working solution
yet.

Thanks!
