Enable: Windows Task Manager ->View->Handle Count

Running this program will show in TaskManager that handles grow to over 2 
million and memory increases continually until the above application crashes 
with this error:
---
libgcj failure: CreateEvent() failed

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
---

see "org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Synchronizer.java" for the syncExec code. This 
problem only exhibits itself when you run display.syncExec from a thread other 
than the gui thread and therefore it is forced to switch running threads 
before executing the run() method.

In a normal app, handles and memory increase slowly over time but this app's 
for loop displays the problem immediately.

The app works fine in SUN's java with consistent memory use and handles.
