Hm... not so good.

Can you tell what descriptor 5 is open on?  Is it for input, for
output, for something else?

Also, is "until I kill bug.exe" accurate?  That program just waits for
5 seconds, so after that it should exit by itself.  Are you saying it
doesn't unless killed by external means?

Thanks.
