We have one particular 32-bit Win2K3 server that leaks System Page Table
Entries (PTEs).  This is most likely made much more noticeable by 4GT and
PAE, which are both required for this fun slice of heaven.  The free PTEs
gets too low and apps (crappy MS database-type ones) crash.  A reboot is the
only fix, suggesting that the leak is system-wide and not
app/session/thread-specific.

returns.  Do you have examples?

That all being said, the 32-bit Win2K3 10.2 XE/APEX box here (used almost
exclusively by me) has:
