Currently realloc failure in UpdateWaitHandles() is handled by triggering exit_event and waiting for all active worker threads to terminate. However, at this point the wait handles array will contain an invalid value (handle of the latest thread that is terminated), causing a cycle of WAIT_FAILED <-> continue and trashing of the eventlog.
Fix: - Update the wait handles again after removing the last thread: this should not fail as no extra memory is needed. Do not set the exit event; existing connections are not terminated. - In case of WAIT_FAILED, break out of the while loop and exit instead of continue. This usually happens when one or more handles are invalid, which is hard to recover from. Other changes: - Use minimal initial allocation size so that the realloc code path gets exercised (2 or more connections will cause realloc). - Use a temp variable to check the return value of realloc(). - Initialize handles array pointer to NULL. Tested using a dummy realloc that returns NULL.
