When the first debuggee is started (suspend=n) there is a race where the debugger process can attach and finish before the debuggee has written out the portfile. In that case ShutdownDebuggee will fail. I have seen this failure mode happen and I can force it by inserting a Thread.sleep into the debuggee. I solved this by waiting for the port file to appear in the suspend=n case as well.
