Task Scheduler Windows 2012 R2 server leaves PxPlus active upon completion of Job Stream

I recently upgraded a customer to 9.1.1 running on Windows 2012 R2 server.  I created a batch file for use in the Task Scheduler, that I have actively running on a Windows 2008 R2 server, and on the 2012 R2 server the job stream completes (the results print indicate that and the file it creates confirms it) but the PxPlus session remains behind and does not terminate.  This leads to user count issues as these tasks pile up day after day.  Has anyone encountered similar issues with a 2012 R2 server?  When the batch file is executed (apart from the scheduler) a pop-up window comes up with "HI" (in the window header) and "Cant trap caption" with an Okay button.  Clicking the okay button and the command window goes away and so does the task.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

This is a PxPlus issue which neither they nor us have been able to figure out. Mike King indicates that it's deep within his code and very difficult to diagnose. In order for him to solve it, we would need to provide him a full environment with which he could reproduce and track it. The message itself is one his code delivers. I'm sure something we (FACTS) are doing is hitting some logic in PxPlus that no one else is hitting. So I'm afraid no solution will be coming soon.
