Well, I've since dug a little deeper and it definitely isn't TortoiseSVN, as I saw the same result when it was uninstalled. (I uninstalled several other shell extension programs as well.)

For those interested in more details:
- When I show the Thread ID in ProcMon, the threads that have been created never do anything.
- I see two threads leak when right-clicking on folders in explorer's navigation pane (left pane), but see only one thread leak when using the folder view (right pane).

I'm going to keep digging, but so far it looks like explorer.exe is the culprit..

Thanks,
Martin
