Research direction
The issue concerns Python's Library (Lib) component on Windows and links to the original BPO discussion. Start by reviewing that discussion and reproducing the inconsistent exit codes for terminated child processes. Done should mean the Windows behavior is consistently defined and the relevant regression coverage demonstrates it.
