I can't comment it so made it as a issue post(is it possible to comment the 
code also with others?)
What I remember when I played with it is that Windows reassigns free PID ID's 
sometimes (it differ for OS versions) so when you will try to terminate some 
old MEncoder process which already terminated and Windows started another 
process like IEXPLORE.EXE or EXPLORER,EXE etc. under same PID, you will see 
what SubJunk described. It will terminate whole desktop(explorer.exe and its 
mother) :-)
So fix should count also with the name of the process not only with ID so if 
PID 1356 should be terminated (MEncoder process), we should check if it is not 
eg. new svchost.exe process with "old" PID.
What do you think about it? It can be quite easily implemented.
