CreateProcess gives us back a handle to the newly created process. Previously, we ignored this handle, which meant it was leaking every time we created a new job container (or anything else that uses internal/exec in the future). Process handle leaks can be bad as an exited process is left as a "zombie" until all handles to it have closed, continuing to use memory. Fix this by closing the handle from CreateProcess.

nit: could you fix the title with "[release/0.11]" instead of "cherry-pick" ? Also would be good to have the commit hash of the original PR that you are using to cherry-pick in the PR description |
