Description

### Windows Terminal version

1.21.3231.0

### Windows build number

22621.1413

### Other Software

powershell 5.1

### Steps to reproduce

I have several powershell instances, running in separate windows terminal instances. (So they should be separate processes)
I closed one, it seems like it crashed. (powershell itself did not crash, I believe)
All my other terminal instances get killed (including those running powershell), and I am toasted. 💢

### Expected Behavior

_No response_

### Actual Behavior
Dump too big to upload to github, so I submited a feedback with the dump.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reproducing the crash with several separate PowerShell 5.1 instances on the reported Windows Terminal and Windows versions, then inspect the feedback dump at the linked aka.ms URL; done means closing one terminal no longer kills the others.
