DellTouch for Dell keyboards (aka Lite-On keyboards) DELLMMKB.EXE leaks handles like crazy!

So far it has done this to me twice and I'm waiting to have it leak on me again. I do believe the DellTouch programs are made by Netropia. I could be wrong.

Either way, after about 24 hours uptime, my XP SP2 box was acting a bit weird. I noticed in Task Manager that instead of having around 15k handles open, there were over 400k handles open! I traced it to DELLMMKB.EXE.

It is a bit overkill for SP2 since the HID Input service normally handles the volume knobs and other extra buttons on these keyboards, but I do like the OSD that DELLMMKB.EXE provides.

If it keeps leaking, it's going bye bye.
