Problem: VC6 IDE does not terminate correctly due to VA operating

1. force VA to show the "global includes have changed. Rebuild at next startup?" dialgo to be shown (As I understand you have to "touch" a file residing in one of the Tools/Options/Directories/Include folders?!)
2. Close Devstudio
3. Open Devstudio. Wait till the Status bar indicates it is parsing the global includes
4. Close DevStudio
5. Open Task Manager: MSDEV.exe is still running, and won't go away (even if you wait a few minutes)

This causes followup problems, as the running VC6 IDE instance still holds file handles to the last project opened.

(The behavior is similar to main thread terminating while a worker thread still being active)
