I'm glad I'm not the only seeing this issue. The hang is on the Shell.Close call, which 
in turn calls the POSIX "close" function. Mode 1 Shells exhibit the same 
behavior.

I haven't been able to find any workarounds.

The workaround in some cases is to not call Shell.Close while the shell is running -- you can just tell the command you're running to exit (or otherwise wait for it to terminate) instead.

But of course this may be difficult in some apps, depending on what you're doing.

Best,
