I'm debugging a weird/sporadic COM/ActiveX error with an application on a

how many HANDLEs can be created across all processes every so often, which 
always causes weird and wonderful behaviour.

However, I can't remember what the system-wide limit is, and stfw'ing didn't 
turn up any clues.  I recall reading something in a GDI programming book 
recently where the author used brute force to demonstrate that the system limit 
was around X handles -- but I can't remember what X was, I think it was around 
43,000, but I'm not sure.

Anyone here happen to know off the top of their head?

10,000 per process. 32,700 system-wide. That's window manager objects -- window handles. GDI object handles are separate.
