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.

if (ngx_processes[s].handle) {
ngx_close_handle(ngx_processes[s].handle);
+ ngx_processes[s].handle = NULL;
}
return NGX_INVALID_PID;
