Have a netbeans plugin (module) open in IDE and have it configured to run in a
platform other than the running (development) IDE. Start profiling with the
Profile Main Project action, choose Analyze Memory Usage (creation only, no
stack traces). Let the profiled IDE start up and then just close it. A dialog
box pops up, just click Yes or No. Notice that the profiled process won't finish
(nb.exe, java.exe, nbexec.exe still there). It still runs as can be seen in Task
Manager. Also, the output tab label is still in bold, which indicates the I/O
stream is still open. Profiling can be rerun normally, the number of processes
will increase.
If you just run the project (Run Main Project), all is OK.
If you choose to only Monitor Application, all is OK.

Content of output tab:

Profiler Agent: Connection with agent closed
---- now I go to Runtime tab and Terminate the process ----
