Thanks for taking a look. What do you propose should happen to this bug? At the
very least I suggest changing the title to reflect the GDI running out of
handles issue that it seems to focus on (the current summary is far too vague).

It looks like comment 65-67 describes graphical glitches occurring with
DirectDrawRenderer=opengl - that sounds like it should be a separate bug
report.
