Now, of course, I'm having trouble making it fail.  However, there appears
to be some mismanagement of handles going on. Certain string handles
appear to have references that are never reclaimed when running
winDDE.test under DDESpy.  Since I saw in DDESpy for the failure
(which now I can't reproduce) that at least one string handle
containing rubbish, I'm going to presume that memory mismanagement
was the issue and track this one together with Tcl bug 648022

This is strange.  Very strange.  It fails reproducibly when the entire test
suite is run.  It does not fail when winDDE.test is run in isolation.
Memory corruption from an earlier failure, perhaps?
