powerline / emoji support stops working after terminal has been open for a while #185

Using wsltty, emojis disappear and powerline symbols turn into a box with question mark after a while. Running in a windows VM with zsh and tmux. Closing and opening wsltty fixes the issue. I have never seen it as it happened, it tends to be when I come back to it the next day or after not using the vm for a bit.

Version: mintty 3.0.2 (x86_64-pc-cygwin) - wsltty 3.0.2.3

Mintty seems to be having a resource leak when displaying many emojis. It's probably a Windows handle limitation; to be analysed.
