sonelliot/sonelliot-dotemacs — Issue #2: Starting the editing server on Windows causes too many handles to be created

State: open

I noticed this when I was unable to spawn any processes from within Emacs. The error was: "Spawning child process: resource temporarily". Tracking the handles in Process Explorer, I noticed that commenting out the (server-start) call in init.el, significantly reduced the number of open handles.

For now, I will keep the editing server disabled on Windows; however, this is definitely a problem I want to address in the future. More investigation is required to determine if this is a bug in Emacs or something specific to my configuration that is causing it to happen.
