Ah, ok.

So it looks like doing what you tried to do by understanding Raymond Chen's 
blog is the way to go... except it didn't work. Aside from the fact that you 
didn't clean the thread's handle state or at least didn't include it in the 
code you pasted, I see no reason it shouldn't work.

Maybe there's some non-obvious mistake. Implementing it directly in 
qprocess_win.cpp may make it work.
