Re: 16 bytes not freed on close

Where did you get this _mstats function from? My program also handles
many files, but it is a long-run - e.g. hours, days, months... -
background task.  When I tried _mstats, importing as you did, I got a
link error.  It's not defined in any of the headers, except inside the
bash source... and if it's a Win32 API function, it's not being imported
properly by the import libraries.  The same goes for mstats.

Sorry this is so much after the event: it took a while to plough through
it all!  Oh, and _mstats isn't documented; mstats is, but listed as a
GNU extension like memmem and others - which aren't implemented in
gnuwin32.
