Re: CGI object leak with remote emacs

[jetset at openface dot ca (Jeremy Tan)]

A bit more followup on the problem: it only seems to happen when there
is more than one emacs frame open.  With just one emacs frame the GDI
object count stays stable, but the moment I open another frame, the
GDI count balloons up very quickly.
