Watirists:

After running a test with Watir over and over again, my WinXP box
shows signs of "handle exhaustion". Simple windows and such don't
open. This shows that when Watir creates its secret Internet Explorer
object, and destroys it (wie.close(), right?) something leaks in the
OLE layer. So the theory is memory fills up with leaked objects, and
the first symptom is we run out of kernel HANDLEs.

Then I fixed some Watir tests by making my rig build a new IE object
once per test case, not once per test batch. (The dynamic updates and
such were colliding and giving false test negatives.)

So now the effect happens much faster. What to do?
