--- Comment #1 from François Gouget <fgouget at codeweavers.com> ---
Pids cannot be used to identify processes on Windows.
https://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?Key=65720

Here's what happens:
* Process.exe with pid 1234 starts Child.exe.
* Process.exe exits which means its pid can now be reused because despite
Child.exe having 1234 as its ppid, it does not hold a handle to Process.exe.

* Test.exe comes around and starts Nested.exe which gets pid 1234.
* Nested.exe starts Dump.exe and exits.
' Test.exe then numerates all processes on the system and latches onto the
first process where ppid == 1234. Whether it gets Child.exe or Dump.exe is
entirely up to chance.
