Handles managed by winhandl.c have a 'busy' flag, which is used to mean two things: (a) is a subthread currently blocked on this handle so various operations in the main thread have to be deferred until it finishes? And (b) is this handle currently one that should be returned to the main loop to be waited for? For HT_INPUT and HT_OUTPUT, those things are either both true or both false, so a single flag covering both of them is fine. But HT_FOREIGN handles have the property that they should always be waited for in the main loop, but no subthread is blocked on them. The latter means that operations done on them in the main thread should not be deferred; the only such operation is cleaning them up in handle_free(). handle_free() was failing to spot this, and was deferring freeing HT_FOREIGN handles until their subthread terminated - which of course never happened. As a result, when a named pipe server was closed, its actual Windows event object got destroyed, but winhandl.c still kept passing it back to the main thread, leading to a tight loop because MsgWaitForMultipleObjects would return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE and never block. |

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
The PuTTY home web site is
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
