If ngx_spawn_process() failed while starting a process, the process
handle was closed but left non-NULL in the ngx_processes[] array.
The handle later was used in WaitForMultipleObjects() (if there
were multiple worker processes configured and at least one worker
process was started successfully), resulting in infinite loop.
