[issue12540] "Restart Shell" command leaves pythonw.exe processes running

[Ned Deily]

This appears to be a Windows-only issue; I'm not able to readily reproduce it on either Linux or OS X.  Taking a quick look at diffs between 3.2 and 3.2.1, there aren't a lot of changes in IDLE (Lib/idlelib) and nothing obviously related.  There are a number of changes elsewhere in signal handling and process handling, though.  The restart_subprocess code is in Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py. If there isn't anything obvious elsewhere, perhaps someone can try to hg bisect it on Windows.
