progress bar stalls

[Ken Ray]

Brad,

It can be any application. The basic thing is that when Rev executes a
program with "open process", it keeps track of it in the openProcesses
global, and can force it closed because it "owns" the process. This also
allows it to be asynchronous (unlike shell()) and move on with your scripts.
