Description
Hi, moving this here from the later comments in #1276.
a G_fatal_error() while a db_driver is open, such as you get when you typo the name of an attribute column, does not close the db driver, which is left behind as a zombie process (along with a dependent cmd.exe). This is a problem as the db driver may be holding a file open, blocking anything else from working on it or removing it.
db_close_database_shutdown_driver() seems to shut it down properly.
work-around: ctrl-alt-del to the task manager and kill any dbf.exe processes. the cmd.exe ones will then go away.
maybe this program helps: (lsof for Windows)

No response, closing. Feel free to reopen.
Reopened because the fundamental problem persists: subprocesses remain open after the parent process was terminated. Applies to all branches.

Fixed in r62679-82 (all branches).
Taking liberty to close the ticket. Feel free to reopen if needed.
A few DBMI related backports have happened over the past few days, still an issue? How to test it?
