I think waiting on JVM_GetThreadInterruptEvent() is necessary during VM 
shutdown to allow the blocked thread to exit cleanly.

The `WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)` seems like an indirect way to determine if 
the process is alive.
Whereas `isProcessAlive(handle)` seems to directly answer the question.
