Leaks handle t: In Jass you must set local variables that hold agents (or any child type) to null at the end of functions to avoid reference counter leaks.

function PolledWait takes real duration returns nothing

            // If we have a bit of time left, skip past 10% of the remaining
            // duration instead of checking every interval, to minimize the
            // polling on long waits.
            if (timeRemaining > bj_POLLED_WAIT_SKIP_THRESHOLD) then
