Force close the std out stream will have memory leak in windows XP

[anonymous]

If we use StdioClose to force close the std out stream, it will have memory leak.
I use a loop, each time I will call a command line function, "dir" in this case. I use StdioClose to close the std out stream. After each loop, I can see the memory of the process increase.
Let it run for a while, the memory continues to increase; and I see the process consume 100% CPU.

This issue can reproduce easily in windows XP.

Can you add a repro script to be sure in which case the memory leak is occuring?
Thanks

Hi,

Example script:

While 1
   $folderLocation = "C:\TestFolder"
   $dirCommand = "dir *.TXT /B /OD /TC |more"

   $ConsolePID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $dirCommand, $folderLocation, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
   ;just read std out 1 time
   $stdRead = StdoutRead($ConsolePID)
   StdioClose($ConsolePID)
   
   Sleep(1000)

WEnd

NOTE: If we use a loop to read all the data of the std out stream, then call StdioClose, the memory leak will not happen. Memory leak only occurs when we don't read all the data.
