  Memory and handle leaks are due to the multiple loading and
  unloading of various DLLs by the Attach Manager process.
  

Problem conclusion

• APPNNODE.EXE was modified so the affected DLLs are now loaded
  when Attach Manager service is started and unloaded when
  attach Manager is terminated.
