I'm noticing significant handle usage with Servers Alive 6.1.2200, running as a service. I have 161 checks enabled, of which the vast majority are simple PING checks, with a very few HTTP, SQL and RPC checks. After roughly 5 days, I see that serversalive.exe is using over 113,000 Handles in Task Manager. If I leave it long enough, the number will keep climbing, such that at roughly 250,000 Handles in use, the server will become unresponsive and fail to complete new authentication requests (if I try to connect to the console session, it will fail if new authentication is needed, but succeed if an account is already logged in.)
