Description

When I try to execute a `--single-run` of Karma with `browsers: ['IE']`, on WinXP/IE8, Karma does not exit cleanly but rather hangs at the prompt waiting for me to terminate the process. Other browsers do not exhibit this behavior on XP.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `karma start --single-run` with `browsers: ['IE']` on WinXP/IE8 and compare its shutdown behavior with other browsers on XP. Trace the `karma start` single-run entry point and identify why the process remains at the prompt; done means the run exits cleanly without manual termination.
