I'm on a Linux box (I'm assuming you're on Windows, since you mentioned Process Explorer), and I wasn't able to find any file handle "leaks", as such, but I did see that font files were being opened many more times than they need to be.
If you're able to run from Subversion, r4633 has a fix for this. I'm curious if it fixes your symptoms.
