2. The buildbot code tries to kill the process itself. It appears (to judge from the buildbot messges) that this never works on Windows.

3. For reasons that are still unknown, pythond.exe keeps running, and forever.

It's actually not too surprising that python_d.exe keeps running. The buildbot has a process handle for the cmd.exe process that runs test.bat. python_d.exe is only a child process of process. So killing cmd.exe wouldn't help, even if it worked.
