This workaround has side effects, i.e. it doesn't automatically close

It's a bug in the dmc runtime. Only Walter can fix it as it is closed
source.
The source is on github, but it's in a private repo. I'm sure Walter
would be happy to give access to it should someone who wants to fix it
step forward and ask him.
To that point, he did give me access, and I submitted a PR to fix an
issue with pipes and std.process a few years back.
However, I was never able to completely build DMC's library from source,
so in order to test, I had to replace the affected .obj file in the
library with my modified one. I was missing a MASM specific version.
