Bug #2992: File operations leak file handles in Windows XP
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2992

Author: Pete Higgins
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32]

Various operations on files leak file handles in Windows XP. In the two attached scripts, Task Manager will report ~30 open file handles for the ruby process at the first gets, then ~230 at the second gets.

This has only been reproducible in Windows XP. This behavior is not seen in Windows Vista or 7. 

More discussion of this issue occurred on the RubyInstaller mailing list in this thread:
