 While building Windows pbfs-flash PTTB bundles, we encountered an issue
 where the obfsproxy child of obfs-flash would not be terminated properly
 after closing the PTTBB. More information can be found in
 comment:5:ticket:10006 .

 After lots of digging around, the problem was solved by toggling the
 `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` flag of `CreateProcess()` in
 `tor_spawn_background()`. More info in comment:26:ticket:10006.

 We should look at the possible side-effects of adding the
 `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` flag there, and if it's innocuous then we
 should implement the change and get it merged.
