Environment

Windows build number:  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.657]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0

Any other software? not relevant

Steps to reproduce

open a new cmd shell in wt
type a command that doesn't work (e.g. foobarfoobar)
type exit

Expected behavior

wt tab/process should exit

Actual behavior

WT prints a message about exit code (e.g. [process exited with code 9009])
tab is "paused" as it no longer processes intput or output. wt can still be exited through the UI normally and continues to pump messages (so isn't "hung" in the technical sense).

Other Notes

This happens to me from time to time when exiting from wt. I've only seen it with cmd shell. I've seen it with various exit codes and other scenarios, but my above steps are the simplest to reproduce.
