That's not actually the error. That happens everywhere :-(
For some reason I couldn't view that logfile at all, but look for something
that started and never finished. This one has the "Action ended" statement
for GetAvailableLocales, my guess is that there is something further down
that has a start but no end.
(And for the record, we do close all the MSIHANDLEs, that's an API bug at
some point)
