That's coming from the main loop in the ConsoleDebugger class.  I don't
have the code in front of me, but I remember it.  The switch after
WaitForDebugEvent() for the EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT case needs to have
an else clause added:

if (<lastProcess>) {
   <same as before>
} else {
   goto again;
}

For debug events returning EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT, they can't call
fall through to ContinueDebugEvent() or it causes an exception in the
child of the spawned app's thread, thereby causing the spawned app to
crash, thus close.
