594: A handle to an object has been duplicated

On this page

This simply means that the program obtained another handle to an object (e.g. file) that it already had open under a different handle. This handle may be passed on to a child process but in any case it will have the same level of access as the handle the file was originally opened under. To determine what file is involved, find the accompanying event 560 for with a handle ID that matches this event's source handle ID.
