After almost an hour and a half, Windows build failed inside CreateProcess

This exception appeared in the logfile:

Apparently when Tom filed this bug as incomplete, what he meant was "cannot reproduce". Odd that there does not appear to be a status for that. I'll just assign this to you for now, in case you can figure out more about what's wrong with it, since I think we both believe bug expiry is just dumb.

I don't think this workflow is going to work for me. I have no specific interest in this bug. I am not going to try to reproduce it, fix it, etc. I observed it, I recorded it, that's as far as I'm going. If I start working on our CIS again, it will be to write a BuildBot replacement.
