It looks like not entirely our problem, or not at all: Windows itself
thinks that the process is still running, although waiting on its
handle to become signaled exits immediately, something that should
never happen.

I installed a semi-kludgey workaround which seems to avoid spinning
the CPU in this obscure case.  Please see that the problem is solved
on your systems as well.
