[issue8093] IDLE processes don't close

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I reproduced this with 3.1.1 on xp. It took a while to get the shell menu to restart as the calculation process is hogging the cpu 99%.
KeyboardInterrupt (^C) would not stop the runaway process. There may have been other issues about this.

Two processes is normal - one for the shell and one for calculations. The 'normal' behavior of Restart Shell (^F6) is to start a third process. Watching in task manager, the abandoned calculation process dies in 3-4 seconds. A stuck process does not end on its own though. Bad bug.
