We used a paging/alerting product. It was intended to be fired by command line, I guess, so each run was totally cleaned up because the process died.
They added library (DLL) functionality so we could run it from a script. So the script ran and ran and ran and sent alerts, and randomly crashed from time to time.
Why is it crashing? The stand-alone worked fine! Well, they weren't cleaning up their handles, so eventually we get to the process handle count limit and die!
