Re: Crash with too many files?

You are probably running into the GDI handle leak in TSVN 1.9.3, which
can cause some very strange things if the TSVN file list shows too
many items.

For me, it made TSVN unusable and also locked up the app/window that
called TSVN, and made the Windows 10 taskbar do some odd stuff.

The workaround for me was to split up what I was doing into a smaller
number of files, and do things in batches. If you look in Task
Manager, you can see if things have gone wrong by the TSVN process
using 9,999 GDI handles, which is the maximum Windows can cope with.

From the changelogs, the bug has already been found and fixed for TSVN
1.9.4, so I think we just have to sit back and wait for that to be
released. In the meantime, it's usually easy to avoid once you know
what causes it.
