[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Unhandled event loop exception

[Alex Blewitt <automatic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's an OS thing. If you've run out of handles, and you start up a new app, that won't be able to create it either. If you see this same behaviour after a reboot, then yes, it's a problem with your code. If a reboot cleans it up, it probably just means there was a memory/SWT-handle leak that you're falling over with.

Win9x had a more serious problem with OS-handles than more recent versions of XP, so it would also be useful to know which OS you're experiencing this from.
