Hm....maybe this remark has something to do with it:

The *CloseServiceHandle* function does not destroy the service control 
manager object referred to by the handle. A service control manager 
object cannot be destroyed.

My guess is that it's related to Test::Unit's threading somehow.  I'm 
not going to worry about it for now.  Expect a release soon. :)
