Indeed.
I concentrated on the registry yesterday and I found a memory and a
handle leak there, which were a result of find using open/fdopendir/
closedir. This skips the close call and the registry closedir code
wasn't handling that at all.
Given that find wastes a lot of memory when scanning ordinary disks,
too, there's apparently still another memory leak somewhere. I'm going
to have another look today.
