+			//
+			// Platform regression. In cmd.exe by the look of it. I can repro
+			// it outside of CI.  It fails the same on 17681, 17676 and even as
+			// far back as 17663, over a month old. From investigating, I can see
+			// what's happening in the container, but not the reason. The test
+			// starts a long-running container based on the Windows busybox image.
+			// It then adds another process (docker exec) to that container to
+			// sleep. It loops waiting for two instances of busybox.exe running,
+			// and cmd.exe to quit. What's actually happening is that the second
+			// exec hangs indefinitely, and from docker top, I can see
+			// "OpenWith.exe" running.
+
+			//Manual repro would be
+			//# Start the first long-running container
+			//docker run --rm -d --name test busybox sleep 300
+
+			//# In another window, docker top test. There should be a single instance of busybox.exe running
+			//# In a third window, docker exec test cmd /c start sleep 10  NOTE THIS HANGS UNTIL 5 MIN TIMEOUT
+			//# In the second window, run docker top test. Note that OpenWith.exe is running, one cmd.exe and only one busybox. I would expect no "OpenWith" and two busybox.exe's.
