How are you measuring these object counts?

It's unclear from what you write if you have any X clients connected to your X 
server while the leak is occurring.

It's interesting that, from your cygcheck output, you seem to have a native 
TCL installed, as that has been mentioned previously associated with some 
source of resource leak problem (see [1]), although I've never been able to 
reproduce it.
