Form.js leakage

<executive-summary>
When my forms application has been running for a while, Cocoon has
thousands of file handles open for Form.js and fom_system.js, causing
crashes.
</executive-summary>

I'm developing a large CForm application. I'm now doing load testing
and after a while, I get "too many open files" exceptions. That "while"
wasn't very long: around 15 user sessions, each going through 10 forms.
Then everything just stops working.

I used a tool called Process Explorer (www.sysinternals.com) to see
which files were open (you could use lsof on unix). It turns out I had
hundreds of copies of org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js
open. There are also countless copies of fom_system.js. I believe
that's the source of the problem.

All of the .js FlowScripts for my forms had cocoon.load(.../Form.js) at
the top. I removed all of them except for the first form. This helped:
the application takes longer before crashing. When looking at the open
files, I still see a large number of Form.js and fom_system.js open
(about 3 fom_system for each Form).

How can I: 1) stop cocoon from loading countless copies of these two
files and  2) "unload" the files when I'm done with them: i.e. in the
logout page, I'd be glad to unload Form.js.

Cocoon 2.1.5, running on Tomcat 5.0.25.

Thanks! 

Benoit

Could you tell me which version of the Form.js you are using please?
I'm doing a similar thing to you but have only just started to develop mine.
