Wmaker, massive handle leak with Xorg

The window manager "Windowmaker" has a massive handle leak,
loosing about 50 handles per second, until the Windows kernel
 runs out of buffer memory (after 12 hours or so, then everything fails,
socket api functions etc.)

I think this is the same problem Volker Zell reported at January 11. I just
updated my cygwin, so the problem is still present in the current
software.

I simply changed in "startxwin.sh"

  XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &
  ...

to

  XWin -clipboard  -silent-dup-error &
  sleep 2
  wmaker &
  sleep 2
  ...

With "fvwm" or "twm" i have no problems.
