Research direction
Start by reproducing sudo.exe powershell in cmd.exe on the reported Windows 8.1 and PowerShell 5.0 environment, then compare it with sudo.exe powershell Get-ChildItem, which reportedly works. Trace the command and interactive-process entry points in the Go project; done means an interactive PowerShell prompt starts and accepts commands without freezing.
