Description
While new process creation the stderror, stdoutput, stdinput streams could be redirected to parent console or abstract pipe. At the same time the child process inherits the ability to close the redirected streams that is not the desirable event. We need to protect redirected streams from closing in child process. 
For that purpose the MS API [SetHandleInformation] function have to be called with appropriate arguments. 
Comments
The function calls like SetHandleInformation(si.hStdOutput, HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT, TRUE); need to be changed to SetHandleInformation(si.hStdOutput, HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT | HANDLE_FLAG_PROTECT_FROM_CLOSE, HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT | HANDLE_FLAG_PROTECT_FROM_CLOSE);
