[ros-kernel] DuplicateHandle on GetCurrentProcess

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,    

I've add your last patches to my source tree. My favorite test,
compiling ros on ros, fails. If I remove only the changes from handle.c,
compiling ros on ros works. Previously, it hangs in 'make clean'.
Currently, I doesn't know what is wrong.
