Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Question about error "SWT Error: No more handles"

Hi, 

working in support I've come across this error on many occasions. "SWT
Error: No more handles" , which usually results in an a crash or unusable
workbench until it is restarted. I am familiar with the background of this
error, being that it is really a windows error and is not very specific.
It is also hard to reproduce as I found in all the bugzilla searches I
did. I am wondering if there is any way to use Eclipse's -debug option
(i.e. a .options file) that can be used to get more info when this error
occurs? I'd imagine if such debug options exist, it would likely get the
same stack trace as shown in the .log but I'd kind of like to try it anyway
to see if it yields more useful information about the problem.

Thanks
