           Summary: Process.Start leaves child processes around unless
                    WaitForExit() is called
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.10.x
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None

ProcessTest.cs file

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

Running the attached program will eventually crash on Mac because the limit for
kern.maxprocperuid will be reached. The problem appears to be that
Process.Dispose() doesn't cleanup everything that it should and processes are
still hanging around.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the attached program.
2. Open two Terminals
3. Run the attached program in one terminal and in the other terminal, run "ps
-x" while the program is running. You should see lots of "echo" processes
hanging around.
Actual Results:  
Eventually the call to fork() will fail and you'll get a Win32Exception.

Expected Results:  
Process.Dispose() should not leave the processes hanging around.
