Ditto on Mac OSX 10.14.6 with Sublime Text 3207.

I uninstalled JavaScript Enhancements, and flow shut down. It also seems to have stopped some other weird behavior, could be a coincidence.

Experienced the same issue when testing out this sublime plugin extension. Had around 20 flow processes spawn which where not taken care of, even persisted after Sublime where exited.

A quick fix would be to implement a timeout in the flow process itself, which kills the self process if it have not received a message over IPC for a given time. Even if the behaviour of spawning these processes in the first place is far from idle.

System: macOS 10.15.3 (19D76) and Sublime Text 3211

I had the same problem on Windows 2016 - flow.exe used over 4GB of memory! I uninstalled the JavaScript Enhancements package.
