Reed:
I never liked them, too, so you aren't alone.
I posted a while in Mers my findings, if someone can take a peek about the
guardian:
- The display problem 191000 instead of 2000 in the reporting window should
be easily fixed... I hope.
- It leaks about 3 and 5 handles each time IB dies. I don't know why this
number varies. One of those handles cannot be recovered directly, because
it's taken by the Win32 subsystem.
- When IBServer is launched, CreateProcess returns two handles: the
Proc'sHnd and the MainThread's Hnd. I'm almost sure the Guardian needs one
but forgets to close the other.
- When IB dies, the Guardian doesn't free the old handles.
- When the Guardian runs as an application, it installs its icon in tray.
When IB dies, the icon begins flashing. But if IB dies again, the Guardian
icon's handle is not released and a new icon is got.

If anybody knows how much space takes the source, I would be willing to fire
my MSVC_6 Enterprise and try to see if the Guardian can be fixed. I'm
running low on physical storage. Maybe I need a piece of C code to digest
and evacuate the bitter and angst I have at this moment.
