Alex, please put a defect on it.


My "brief" experience with windows is reverse.  In the debugger
if I:
- InputStreawm().close
- Process.destroy()

gdb will hang, ... the close() blocks forever.

I had to :

- Process.destroy()
- InputStream().close

Again my dealing with windows is too limited, but
would you mind investigate a little more before applying the patch.

Thanks.
