Comment (by anonymous jellyfish):

 I saw a rising Event handle count as described because of
 boost::recursive_mutex contention with many objects.  But the handles
 aren't leaking; if I delete my array of objects, the
 boost::recursive_mutex destructor releases the Event handle if it created
 one.

 So, I don't think there is a bug here.  If you have an array of 100k
 objects each containing boost::recursive_mutex, be prepared for anywhere
 between 0 and 100k Event handles.
