Summary0001393: After quitting the game, dwarfort.exe process remains running in the background until killed via Task Manager
DescriptionJust like the summary says. It seems that more often than not, when I quit out of DF from the main menu, using the Quit option, a dwarfort.exe process remains running in the background, using maybe 150MB or memory or so. If I start up a new instance of DF, then the old dwarfort process stays there, but Task Manager shows it using very little memory.

I could be wrong, but I think this mainly happens after I have played fortress mode.
Steps To ReproduceStart the game. Load up a fortress game. Quit. Wait a few minutes then check task manager.
TagsNo tags attached.

Getting this as well, I play via USB stick, so whenever I go to eject, I get the "cannot do this, still in use" message. Lo and behold, dwarfort.exe is still running (sometimes multiple instances if I've saved/quit a couple times).

In 0001569, "the key difference [is] that the window remains visible".
