New leak, on process spawn about async

[soumith]

From a glance, it looks like another reference counting issue.
increases the refcount here luv_functions.c line 1367

But on killing the process with uv.process_kill it doesn't decrease the refcount.
After killing a process, you have to explicitly close the handle with uv.close in
https://github.com/clementfarabet/async/blob/master/async/process.lua line 24

I think that might fix it.

You can't close it directly after, you need to wait for the onexit event, and then close it, which is how I'm doing it right now. I also close the stdin, stdout, and stderr.

Ah OK. Then maybe check if onexit is getting generated when kill is called?

What about a test where you don't kill the process and it finished cleanly.
Does it leak then as well?
