FAQ

if UseShellExecute == false

Start uses native Win32 function CreateProcess with bInheritHandle parameter as true. In this case all inheritable handles (such as opened TCP/IP ports as in my case) passed to child process.

Then if parent for some reason terminates, child still has opened handles of the parent, so if parent started by some event again, it can't use same listening port (as it was in my case).

I had to write own implementation of Process.Start to just pass false bInheritHandle param to CreateProcess
